Luke Rockhold confident he could topple UFC kingpin Alex Pereira: ‘I could beat him, easy, I’m sure’

Former UFC and Strikeforce middleweight world champion Luke Rockhold is confident that he could return to top form and take the world title from Brazil’s Alex Pereira.

In his UFC and Strikeforce runs, Luke Rockhold was notable for both slick striking and skilled grappling. Along the way, he was able to defeat impressive names such as ‘Jacare’ Ronaldo Souza, Keith Jardine, Tim Kennedy, Michael Bisping, Lyoto Machida, and Chris Weidman.

In 2019 he went inactive but returned for a battle in 2022 against Paulo Costa. He then retired and was recently signed by BKFC.
