Luke Rockhold
Rockhold's rise to prominence began in Strikeforce, where he became the middleweight champion and showcased his versatile skill set. He defended his title twice before the UFC absorbed Strikeforce. In December 2015, he defeated Chris Weidman to win the UFC Middleweight championship. He lost it in his first title defense against Michael Bisping in June of the following year. Since that loss, Rockhold, who has a black belt in BJJ, could win only once in four matches. After signing with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) on March 1, 2023, Rockhold is gearing up for his highly anticipated debut against fellow UFC veteran Mike Perry.
