Luke Rockhold received some nice UFC parting words from Dana White, which he says he appreciated.
Rockhold has been vocal about fighter pay, among other things, which has caused the UFC president to fire back at him. Rockhold says the relationship between the two heavily soured after he lost his UFC middleweight title in 2016, but after a blood-and-guts war with Paulo Costa at UFC 278, White paid his respect to the middleweight great.
“I’ll never say anything (bad) about him. I totally respect him,” White said after Rockhold’s gutsy loss to Costa.
