Luke Rockhold tells Jake Paul ‘don’t open your mouth about me’ after Costa fight labeled ‘dog sh-t’

Luke Rockhold has warned YouTube boxer Jake Paul to keep his name out of Paul’s mouth following criticism over Rockhold’s UFC 278 retirement fight with Paulo Costa, which Paul labeled ‘dog sh-t’ on Twitter.

Rockhold, a former UFC and Strikeforce middleweight champion and a legend of the sport, fired back at ‘The Problem Child’ during a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour.

The 37-year-old UFC veteran said Paul doesn’t understand fighting and that the social media influencer, who Rockhold claims has lost touch with reality, will never know what it feels like to be in a real fight.
