Former UFC Champion Explains Transition to Boxing: ‘I Want to Get That Boxing Money!’

Ex-UFC star Luke Rockhold wants to get his hands on some of that boxing money.

With the UFC constantly under fire for underpaying fighters, it’s no surprise that a slew of former MMA icons like Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Cris Cyborg, and Vitor Belfort have taken to the sweet science to bolster their bank accounts.

Two of the latest MMA stars to exchange their 4oz gloves for a pair of eight-ouncers are Luke Rockhold, a former UFC middleweight champion, and Darren Till. The two will headline a loaded MF & DAZN X Series 22 card in Manchester on August 30, with the winner leaving as the MFB bridgeweight titleholder.
