Former UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold announced his decision to leave the sport after losing to Paulo Costa at the UFC 278 tournament, held on the night of August 21 in Salt Lake City, USA.

“I have gone through a lot in these three years. Thanks to everyone, thanks to the UFC, but it's too tough for me anymore. I did everything I could and still didn't pull it. I'm old for this," Rockhold said.

Recall that the 37-year-old Rockhold was defeated by unanimous decision. This failure was the fourth for the American in the last five fights.
