Luke Rockhold explains how he dealt with ‘zombie’ woman attack

Luke Rockhold was out walking his dog and getting a workout, not expecting to have to put his martial arts training to use.

But that’s just what the former UFC middleweight champion found himself doing during a stroll down Santa Monica Boulevard when he was involved in a strange confrontation by a bus stop. Rockhold recently told Submission Radio about the encounter that involved a woman approaching him and possibly trying to infect him with COVID-19 by spitting on him.

“I don’t know what’s going on right now, it’s wild times, just going for a casual stroll with my dog,” Rockhold said (transcription via Denis Shkuratov).
