Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold appears to get the better of his sparring partner in a new video that is making its way around the internet. The former title holder’s sparring partner just so happens to be Volkan Oezdemir, AKA teammate Daniel Cormier’s next opponent.
Rockhold is teammates with UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier out of American Kickboxing Academy (AKA). That being said, Rockhold has been spending much of his time as of late training in Fla.
As a result, Rockhold has found himself coincidentally training along with the next UFC light heavyweight title challenger. Oezdemir is set to face off against Cormier for the belt at UFC 220 on Saturday night, Jan. 20, at UFC 220.
In the video below, Rockhold can be seen getting the better of the light heavyweight in a quick burst of sparring practice. Check it out below:
