Luke Rockhold Planning To Move To Light Heavyweight

March 8, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Luke Rockhold revealed that he’s planning to move up to 205 to compete in the UFC’s light heavyweight division. Here are highlights:

On if he’d move back to middleweight: “I don’t see me coming back, man. The weight cut is too much on me. As you get older, your bones get bigger. The last couple cuts have been pretty brutal on me. I had trouble regulating my body temperature and all that shit. It’s not fun. It’s not a fun cut anymore. I’m a different fighter at 205. That weight cut is taking a lot out of me.”

On Alexander Gustafsson telling him to beware: “I like it. I think it was petty coming after me so early (after the knockout loss). I don’t know if he was trying to get under DC’s skin, but I’ll be coming. I’ll be coming to 205. Im gonna handle my business and you better be sure I’m coming for that ass, too.”
