Luke Rockhold, former UFC middleweight champion, insulted the same former champion of the organization in this division, Shawn Strickland. Luke stated that he would be ready to beat up Sean if they organized a fight.
"It disgusts me to see that fucking kid's face. He's a fake little s***hole. I know who he is. I don't think he himself believes what he's been saying lately. He's just talking. If Dana lets me fight him, I'll do it," Rockhold said on the JAXXON Podcast.
Rockhold last fought in the UFC in August 2022, losing to Paulo Costa by unanimous decision.
