Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold is coming off of a tough knockout loss that has made the former title holder consider a move to the light heavyweight division. Following a response to the division’s tough contender Alexander Gustafsson, “The Mauler” has fired back an intense retort.
Luke Rockhold suffered a third round knockout loss to Yoel Romero, ending the fighter’s shot at the interim UFC middleweight title. Following the loss, Rockhold revealed an interest in potentially making a run within the light heavyweight class.
The former middleweight champion was called out by Alexander Gustafsson soon after. Following Rockhold’s seeming interest in facing the fighter, Gustafsson has come forward with a heated message for the former title holder.
“@LukeRockhold . Heard u coming for me.. Can’t ask for more .chinny as middle weight. KO’d as a LHW. Fool yourself to believe its the weight cut.
“I’ll wait for u!!”
