Luke Rockhold Offered UFC Return Bout Against Sean Strickland

Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold could make his highly-anticipated return to the octagon sooner rather than later after it was reported that he has been offered a bout with Top-10 middleweight contender Sean Strickland for a later date. Rockhold has been on the sidelines for a while since announcing his intentions to not only […]

Rockhold has been on the sidelines for a while since announcing his intentions to not only return to the UFC but also to cut weight and return to the division that he once held the belt in.

Rockhold made a brief trip to light heavyweight where he lost against then-top contender Jan Blachowicz at UFC 239, just a couple of fights before Blachowicz became the UFC light heavyweight champion. The 36-year-old Rockhold lost two of his last three middleweight fights, including an all-time upset against short-notice replacement Michael Bisping.

UFC president Dana White has been looking for an opponent for Rockhold for months, and it sounds like he’s found a matchup with Strickland to be his return to the octagon. Nothing has been accepted or agreed upon on Rockhold’s side of things just yet, but that could come soon. White confirmed to TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter that the Rockhold vs. Strickland fight has been offered to both sides just days after Strickland’s unanimous decision win over Uriah Hall at UFC Vegas 33.

Luke Rockhold has been offered Sean Strickland as his next opponent per Dana White.

Rockhold has talked a lot in recent media interviews about the prospects of a potential fight with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, saying that he is confident that he could give the reigning champion issues if the two were to cross paths in the octagon.

A win over Strickland would give Rockhold the clout that he would need to make another potential run at the belt, but a lot has changed in the division since he last fought. It is arguably a deeper, more talented division and the race for a shot at Adesanya is more crowded than ever before.

What is your way-too-early prediction for a fight between Luke Rockhold and Sean Strickland?

Sean Strickland Would Be ‘Super Happy’ If He Killed Someone In The Cage

It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t have some controversial comments from a UFC fighter — especially Sean Strickland.

Strickland is coming off an impressive unanimous decision win over Uriah Hall in their UFC Vegas 33 headliner last night. As a result, Strickland made it five wins in a row and will undoubtedly be targeting a top-ranked opponent next.

However, his post-fight comments seem to have made more headlines.

After stating that he was addicted to pornography and that he’d probably be cooking meth in a trailer if he wasn’t a UFC fighter, Strickland stated what would make him happy in a fight.

“If you like to f*cking hurt people, you’re in the right sport,” Strickland said (via MMA Fighting). “I would love nothing more than to kill somebody in the ring. Nothing more. It would make me super happy.

“I would own that sh*t, too. I don’t know if it would make me liable, I might have to say I’m sorry if the cops came, but I would own that sh*t. Own it. Be a psychopath, it’s f*cking fun!”

Strickland also added the not-so-surprising comment that he would probably be one of the last fighters the UFC wanted to represent them as a champion.

“I’m probably the last person they want as the champion,” Strickland added. “‘So Sean what do you think about the UFC?’ I mean it’s cool, they pay me well, it’s cool. I’m the last one they probably want to be the champion.”

Strickland isn’t the first nor the last person to talk about wanting to kill someone inside the ring. Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder did the same as well.

But that doesn’t make it any less stupid or bizarre to say.

Sean Strickland is so ecstatic following his UFC Vegas 33 win that he’d fight Francis Ngannou … for the right price.

Of course, Strickland is simply having some fun following his dominant unanimous decision victory over Uriah Hall. Strickland and Hall shared the Octagon inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout headlined UFC Vegas 33. After five rounds of action, it was clear that Strickland got the better of Hall and he was awarded the unanimous decision victory.

Strickland appeared on the ESPN+ post-fight show following his victory over Hall. He said he’s more than happy as long as his paydays keep growing. On top of that, he even joked about taking on UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou.

“As long as my checks keep getting bigger and I keep getting paid I don’t care. I’ll fight Francis for the right dollar amount. He would knock me out but I would do it.”

Strickland has now extended his winning streak to five. Along the way, he’s beaten Hall, Krzysztof Jotko, Brendan Allen, Jack Marshman, and Nordine Taleb. He hasn’t suffered a loss since May 2018.

Going into the bout with Hall, Sean Strickland was the number 11-ranked UFC middleweight. Hall held the number eight spot. With Strickland’s victory, he’s pretty much guaranteed a spot in the top 10 UFC middleweight rankings.

Strickland has already unveiled how he would approach a bout with UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya during an exclusive interview with LowKickMMA.

“Adesanya, he’s one of the best strikers in the f—ing world, man,” he said. “He’s another guy that its like, you’re not going to go and outpoint Adesanya. You’re not going to go and out strike Adesanya. You have to go out there and f—ing fight him. Same with Uriah Hall. I’m not going to go out there and play tag with Uriah Hall. If I’m going to do that, he’s going to catch me. I’m going to go in there and fight Uriah Hall. I’m going to go in there and fight Adesanya.”
