Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold shared his impressions of his bare-knuckle rules performance at BKFC 41 in Broomfield, USA.
Recall that on the night of April 30, Rockhold lost in his debut fight by TKO in the second round to Mike Perry.
You can cross fistfights off the list. This is some crazy shit. These little fists got me, two teeth off. Maybe you need a beard, or another cap. It was a good fight. Too bad it ended like this. Mike, you’re a badass motherfucker. Congratulations! Thanks to my sponsors, thanks to the people. I haven’t finished yet, but gloves would be nice.
Perry, 31, defeated Michael Page by majority decision at BKFC 27 in August 2022. He has three wins and no losses under his belt.
38-year-old Rockhold entered the UFC Octagon in August, 2022, at the league's 278th tournament. There he lost by unanimous decision to Paulo Costa. He has 16 wins and six losses in MMA under his belt.
BKFC president explains why Rockhold refused to continue fighting Perry Dos Anjos vs Luque to headline UFC Fight Night on July 15 Yadong challenges O'Malley and Vera after winning at UFC Vegas 72
