*Luke "The Last Samurai" Rockhold is a beast. But his arrogance and poor defence killed him as a fighter.*

yeah brain damage and father time are an undefeated duo

[@madgavin7568]

@@lesnarbuiltthepyramids3788 Cody had great athleticism but he was never that good as a fighter, he was the Jeremy Stephens of the Bantamweight division who won the lottery against Cruz. Coupled with the fact he's a hothead and a meathead to boot, it ruined whatever potential he may have had. Luke was actually a championship level fighter.

One of the most athletically talented fighters in MMA ever.

[@joet81]

I've got to give credit to Luke rockhold. He may not have the strongest personality traits and he might make an ass of himself sometimes, but he is a beast of a fighter, and everyone that ends up training with him says that he's one of the most talented martial artist that they've ever met. This is a great compilation to show that he was levels of the head of everyone back then. I hope he beats Paolo Costa. Luke seems to be a lot more likable these days as well.

[@madgavin7568]

Many have either forgotten or don't know how good Luke Rockhold was. Many fans these days disregard him as a meme who gets knocked out and act like he's 1-8 in the UFC. Sadly, I think Costa kills Rockhold and the 'Luke Out Cold' memes will once again flair up.

Honestly one of the most talented fighters on the roster, just didn’t have a good enough chin

[@slurp3194]

What u mean he didnt have a good chin have u seen the amount of piwer shots luke took over his career. Dude was an absolute monster he got knocked out by romero lol thats not weak chin thats just s powerful punch. Then a future light heavy weight champ. Lukes chin is fine well atleast it was not sure about now.

[@kagomehigurashi693]

His defence was the real issue

[@patrickoriley6791]

One of the most talented fighters to ever be born. Unfortunately, talent can only take you so far when you have no chin.

[@rossbob5583]

Honestly the guys he got knocked out by are dudes with insane power hah I am sure most people getting hit by them would get knocked out too. To me that doesn’t show that he has no chin & if it’s any different now those ko’s probably contributed to it.

[@austinpowers8550]

Patrick are you serious with this comment. The dude is 37 and been fighting for like 20yrs. Eventually your chin gives out it doesn't matter who you are. When you get that old it happens. He's been hit by some of the most powerful people on the planet. Besides for Bisping the other guys that knocked him out were monsters like Romero and Blachowitz.

Thats not a man with a weak chin or atleast wasnt not sure now that he has been out for 3 years that might have healed his jaw or allowed father time to do some more damage. But luke is a insane athlete dude surfs skates models saw him fucking wrestle a bull. Dudes no joke a scary scary athlete could go pro in literally any sport.

If nothing else, this playlist is a cautionary tale to the extreme danger of giving up your back. It’s my 2nd biggest pet peeve in grappling. It’s better to give up the mount and fight out from there. If you’re afraid of the mount than your guard recovery is trash, and you should work on it.

[@logandwyer8727]

Sorry to burst your bubble but mount is much more dangerous in MMA. U have to use your hands to push the hips which just leaves your head open. If your on your back looking up they can’t generate much punching power.
