“I want to work on my life and health the way I did before the break. Get your health in order. In the end, my body is getting worse, and the fights are not going to benefit.
So I want to get my old body back, but never close the doors to MMA. As soon as I recover my health and get in such a shape that I can compete without harm to the body, then maybe in two or three years I will do another race. I'm getting better as I take care of my health and change my style, ”Rockhold said in an interview with MMA Junkie.
Recall that on August 21 at UFC 278, Rockhold lost by unanimous decision to Paulo Costa. After the fight, the American announced his retirement from the sport.
