Rockhold Calls Bare-Knuckle Fighting a “Dumbass Sport”

Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold shared his thoughts on bare-knuckle fighting.

Luke Rockhold for MMA Fighting
Bare-knuckle boxing is not a fight. I realized I [walked in there], I’m not losing my f---ng teeth without using everything I’ve worked for my whole life. People are f---ng dumb. That’s a dumbass sport.

Rockhold had his only bare-knuckle fight against Mike Perry in April 2023 at BKFC 41, where he lost by technical knockout in the second round after suffering several broken teeth and a split lower lip.

Rockhold is set to face former UFC fighter Darren Till in a boxing match on August 30 at Misfits Boxing in Manchester.
