Former UFC and Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold challenged popular blogger and professional boxer Jake Paul to a fight.
Stop fighting little dudes. You're a middleweight. If you want to fight a middleweight, I know how to work my hands. I'd beat you even in my sleep. Fight real champions and challengers. Somebody serious who can put you on your ass, not old 55-year-old fighters or lightweights.

Earlier, Rockhold said the UFC released him from a contract when he had several fights remaining.
Rockhold, 38, last entered the Octagon in August 2022 at UFC 278, losing to Paulo Costa by unanimous decision of the judges. In July 2019, Luke faced Jan Blachowicz at UFC 239. Their confrontation ended with Rockhold losing by knockout in the second round. Rockhold has 16 wins and six losses under his belt.
