Luke Rockhold says he’s getting turned down by top 10 at 185: ‘Everyone’s just making excuses’

Luke Rockhold is in need of an opponent for his return to the Octagon but cannot seem to find one.

The former UFC middleweight champion has not competed since his last appearance at UFC 239, where he made his light heavyweight debut and was knocked out by Jan Blachowicz in the second round of their fight. In that time, Rockhold mulled over a potential retirement from competition, decided against it and worked to restore his body to tip-top condition in preparation for his comeback.

Rockhold recently gave an update to fans about what he has been doing during his off-time as well as the issues he has — and still is — facing in terms of getting an opponent to fight him.
