Luke Rockhold has made a move to join the Global Fight League (GFL), as confirmed by Uncrowned’s Ariel Helwani on “The Ariel Helwani Show”. Rockhold, a former UFC middleweight champion, was initially drafted to Team Dubai but has since been traded to Team LA in order to set up a rematch with Chris Weidman.
The history between Rockhold and Weidman dates back to their meeting at UFC 194 in 2015, where Rockhold claimed the UFC middleweight championship with a fourth-round finish over Weidman. The anticipated rematch was supposed to take place at UFC 199 in 2016 but was derailed by a Weidman injury.
Both Rockhold and Weidman have now found themselves under the GFL umbrella, with Weidman on Team New York. The potential rematch has been a driving factor for Weidman’s decision to join GFL, and Rockhold is eager to secure the fight.
Rockhold, who recently turned 40, believes he is in better shape than ever and is confident in his ability to defeat Weidman once again. He is excited about the prospects of competing in GFL and is looking forward to showcasing his skills in the promotion.
Aside from MMA, Rockhold has explored other combat sports such as bare-knuckle boxing and karate kickboxing. He also expressed interest in a potential boxing match, with Darren Till being a preferred opponent.
Rockhold’s competitive spirit remains strong, and he is determined to make an impact in whatever combat sports he chooses to pursue in the future.
