Luke Rockhold is days away from starting the post-UFC chapter of his fighting career, and he’s already loving it.
Rockhold, a former UFC and Strikeforce middleweight champion, fought under the UFC regime for the last decade. His bareknuckle boxing debut against Mike Perry this Saturday in the main event of BKFC 41 in Denver will mark the first time he fights outside the octagon since 2012.
The 38-year-old fought out his UFC contract last August in a Fight of the Night decision loss to Paulo Costa. Rockhold needed to see what was out there in the free agency world of combat sports.
