Rockhold released from UFC contract

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold announced that he had become a free agent.

“I became a free agent. I am ready to try something new, the fire is burning in me again. I need a new environment, I need a new challenge. When you stay in one medium for a long time, you start to burn out and there is a need for new tests, ”Rockhold quotes MMA FIghting.

Recall that Rockhold had his last fight in August last year, losing by unanimous decision to Paulo Costa. After the fight, the American announced his retirement, but later admitted that he could change his mind.
