Luke saying FU with blood dripping from mouth and out of gas and spinning into costas guard at end is pretty epic . Dramatic.

Yea this fight looks like a scripted fight club scene lol

[@lukelocks9083]

That rubbing his bloodied face all over PC's face was like a horror movie scene. Great fight between two warriors. LR nose was full of blood early doors, affecting his breathing, at times he was out on his feet with exhaustion, but man did he soldier on. Luke the Lionheart!

[@robnhood1416]

He looks like Nic Cage in ending scene of Mandy 😄

[@No1.SPEAKINGTHETRUTH]

I actually used to hate Luke Rockhold because of his arrogance, but I actually feel sorry for him now, and want him to win. His fall from grace since Bisping KO'D him and took the world championship from him, has been dramatic and quick to say the least. He showed true grit there though!!!

[@conormcleod5900]

Just remember when we thought Weidman and Rockhold in their prime were the highest level the middleweight division had ever reached. And a few years later we've got guys like Duplessis and Strickland with very weird/non flashy styles but would absolutely destroy those 2 guys.

The real winner of this fight was Mike Beltran. The eye pokes, low blows, handling of both fighters, and surprisingly breaking out my native Portuguese to scold Costa. Beltran is holdin it down for orc referees everywhere.

Rockhold's cardio is shocking for a professional MMA fighter. He was blowing out of his arse by the end of round 1.

[@MatadorTheGreat]

Elevation, not only Rockhold was tired early.

[@No1.SPEAKINGTHETRUTH]

Rockholds fall from grace has been nothing short of spectacular. Since Bisping KO'D him and took the belt of him, his arrogance rapidly disappeared. Now I've went from wanting all of his opponents to smash his smug face in, to actually feeling sorry for him and kinda rooting for the guy. He showed true grit there, he definitely is a warrior and I actually wish him all the best now. Paulo Costa is no joke, he's one scary dude, and for the size of his muscles he's got brilliant cardio!

[@KingCuba]

So clear to see that LR wanted to win, and he put it all on the line to try to get there….that’s all we ever ask for. Good fight Champ

Luke rockhold is the most complete and skilled middleweight ever. Incredible creativity both on his standup and his ground game.

those kicks are basically the same thing, he's live commentating a fight in front 100k people i mean i'd imagine he couldn't see which foot he landed on so he'll make mistakes just as all commentators do, he holds black belts in both Taekwondo and BJJ but yeah you probably know more than him in the art of fighting

Luke did not have the cardio maybe the cut but body shots also but constantly leg kicks and spinning stuff and never could catch a second wind or pace himself

[@edgarramos1499]

Altitude... fight took place a high altitude. Luke not trained for that, oxygen is much thinner. Of course the busted nose did not help, and those early rib shots from Costa took a toll as well.

[@toemasmeems]

this was the first fight in Utah and I dont think he was ready for that on top of a broken nose. Costa got those Brazilian genetics tho they got different air or something that way xD

[@QuEsT_X]

Luke really pissed me off this fight .. and showed the importance of road work and conditioning, he was the definition of fake fit … he looked in shape but he really wasn’t

[@ComradeJoe72]

I mean to be fair they were fighting at Elevation in Utah. I’ve ran in Flagstaff and that shit tires you out.

He’s just trying to make a few more paydays. His legacy is behind him 🤙 good in his prime tho 💯👍

[@Mahoragaontop]

You ever go for a jog in Utah and it’s your first time being that high? It fucking sucks. Been training for YEARS and one day in Utah I was outta breath. Wasn’t even running just jogging

[@leatheryfoot6354]

When Luke yelled "Fuck you!' he wasn't screaming at Costa. He was screaming at Father Time.

[@edgarramos1499]

A lot of people to this day think Luke was trying to spread his blood on Costa's face. Luke's face was so bloody that it got into his eyes and he was practically blind. When he is rubbing his face on Costa he is trying to wipe the blood of his eye socket with out using his hands. When Luke is on top of Costa he can't even see him.

I think Costa was asking Rocco if he was OK at the end of the fight. Rocco said "Yeah I'm OK" after Costa asked him something. Rocco was worn-out. He didn't have the conditioning for this fight.

If you get exhausted in the 2nd round, you have not trained enough. Every fighter should train 5 rounds.. Yeah I know, you can't start out that way but you shouldn't go into the ring until you can
