“So Luke Rockhold is like this really good looking dude and girls are always attracted to him, and then when he gets around girls I think he is a bit of a buffoon.” Dana White said of (via BJPenn.com). “Yeah, he looks good. He’s one of those guys that the girl will be on a date, and he looks good, and then you just want him to stop talking. Stop talking and just sit there and look good.”
The 34-year-old Rockhold in on a two-fight skid, and last fought at UFC 239 against Jan Blachowicz for his debut at light heavyweight. After losing via second round TKO, White urged him to retire and continue his modelling career, instead.
“He’s got another career that he’s actually doing well at,” White said during the post-fight presser. “Everybody’s a f—king model, ‘I’m a model, I’m a model’ — that guy’s actually really modeling for Ralph Lauren. So good for him.”
In a recent ESPN interview, Rockhold stated he has no interest in fighting as of the moment, adding it’s “very” possible for him to retire sooner than later.
