Luke Rockhold addresses BKFC 51 stoppage loss: ‘I’m not done, some gloves would be nice, though’

Former UFC middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold appears keen on continuing his combat sports career despite last night’s damaging BKFC 41 main event loss to MIke Perry, heaping praise on his fellow Octagon alum for his performance.

Snapping an August retirement from combat sports last night in Broomfield, Colorado, former UFC and Strikeforce middleweight titleholder, Rockhold had been sidelined from active competition since suffering a unanimous decision loss to former middleweight title challenger, Paulo Costa last summer.
