Luke Rockhold

YouTuber, Houston Jones has claimed he suffered “crippling pain” after he took a series of body round kicks from former UFC and Strikeforce champion, Luke Rockhold. 

Jones and Rockhold had agreed to film a video for the former’s YouTube channel on-site in Utah, where he agreed to take a series of body kicks from the UFC middleweight contender, in order to show, or attempt at least his durability against a professional mixed martial artist.

Ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold drops Houston Jones with a series of liver kicks

In the video, which has been posted across social media, a shirtless Jones braces himself for a body kick from Rockhold — a renowned kicker, before he dropped after the former middleweight champion lands flush to his liver, resulting in a series of knockdowns. 

“Once you touch the liver, once it’s hurt, it does not take much to get through it and penetrate it,” Luke Rockhold said during the video.  “You know you’ve got him hurt in the liver so you can see the guy crumble and break and all you’ve got to do is touch it (the liver).“

Jones, who has also been previously shot by a taser operated by former UFC light heavyweight kingpin, Chuck Liddell, compared that experience to his latest interaction with Rockhold.

“I’d rather be tasered,” Houston Jones said following his video with Luke Rockhold. “It’s a sharp pain that makes you keel over and wonder why this happened and what decisions you chose to get to this moment. You ask yourself, ‘Where did I go wrong, and/or right?’ Needless to say, I don’t recommend it but that’s why I’m here though, you’re welcome.“

For former middleweight champion, Rockhold, the Californian veteran was slated to make his Octagon and divisional comeback at UFC 268 last month at Madison Square Garden against the streaking, Sean Strickland, however, a back injury forced the Santa Cruz native from the bout. 

In his most recent UFC walk, Rockhold made his light heavyweight division debut at UFC 239 in July of 2019, suffering a broken jaw courtesy of a second round knockout loss to former division champion, Jan Blachowicz. Rockhold clinched the middleweight crown back in December 2015 with a ground strikes stoppage win over Chris Weidman at UFC 194.

Jose Aldo

Former UFC featherweight continues to prove himself a problem at bantamweight — lodging his third straight unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 49-46) win, this time halting the streak of Massachusetts striker, Rob Font to close out UFC Vegas 44.

Some real limited output from Aldo in the opening round, however, he’s likely stolen the frame from the more active Font with a knockdown with just 10-seconds or so remaining in the frame.

Landing a crisp jab-straight combination, Aldo then followed up with a right uppercut, with the Brazilian unable to land anything else significant to force a stoppage.

Another impressive round for Manaus favorite, Aldo who appears to have a significant power advantage over Font, who visibly retreats whenever the former champion lands that jab-straight combination. Font happy to stay in the fire and take one in order to land his own, however. Andre Pederneiras calling for more kicks from Aldo ahead of the third.

Third round in the books and Font appears to have caused some significant swelling on the right eye of Aldo courtesy of a ground strike, and may have taken the third round. The Brazilian landed a couple notable leg kicks toward the close from the frame — one of which knocked Font from his feet.

An early fourth round knockdown for Aldo who has now himself closed the left eye of Font via his striking acumen. The knockdown is likely enough to see Aldo take the penultimate round, however, Font is still active from his back with some well-placed elbows. Clear urgency in the New England Cartel for Font to chase a fifth round finish.

Jose Aldo continues to make waves at bantamweight with his third straight decision triumph

Despite a cagey and laboured opening minute or two to the final round, Aldo once more stunned and dropped Font with his boxing, riding out the remainder of the frame from the back and then mount — scoring his third consecutive unanimous decision.
