MMA, Skating, and Surfing and three of my favorite sports. Awesome to see him draw some parallels between them. Fightland is the shit!

Luke looks huge on his skateboard.

[@JustSujC]

He's probably 200 pounds walking around.

[@breakdancerQ]

Well he is a huge dude. 6'3, 200+ lbs

[@ThePride16]

"If it's not hard; if it's not big, it's not fun for me" just come out of the closet already luke lol

By the way you think I bet you're the one who needs to come out

[@Mikeyjfox1]

[@kylepressonsk8]

I love you

had no clue he could shred like that lolll

[@ouncy]

Rockhold was the last person that I would think skated. Maybe my opinion will change about him. He can't be as arrogant as I thought he was.

[@Star00Maker]

ouncy Luke is amazing, he isn't arrogant at all just look at how he is with his teammates and friends

[@jaswinderparmar3567]

He talks to try and sell PPV Mcgregor effect

[@mahoobarc1439]

@@jaswinderparmar3567 No, he's a wanker with a horrible attitude.

[@Mikeyjfox1]

He doesn't even land the front side airs out of the quarter pipe lol. I wish he did, but I watched him skating a month ago they just took pics when he's in the air but he never landed it lol. Notice how they cut the clips before he lands haha. He's still doing sm decent shit tho

[@Theroadneverending]

Your arrogance is showing

[@DogsofOzVEVO]

Damn Luke actually rips at skating, newfound respect for this guy.

[@sequimskater420]

I use to throw bisping quotes all the time twards him but after seeing him shredd the skatepark I too have found a new respect for the guy! Lets Go Luke!!!!!💪😎👊🛹🏄‍♂️

Talented guy.

[@simplycy919]

No it wasn’t. Mandela effect. Look into it

[@KONAMAN100]

I had no idea Luke did surfing n skating, and at such high levels, really incredible. And how this developed his MMA, very interesting. Makes him more of an enigma also. Not to mention modelling. It's like he has 4 careers.

[@joaoramos32]

It is cool indeed, but he's skating and surfing are very far from high level though...

[@jacobthomas216]

hes good at surfing skating not so much

Is it weird that i actually wanted to see Luke vs Anderson? I mean anderson before his fight with Weidman

[@InfectedoOG]

This guy is living the life, man.

[@earthwormjim3269]

He really is a great guy.

[@Peraltaskies69]

Luke skates?! Holy shit sick!

[@luwkwul]

Cool piece. Had to subscribe

[@Updogg3000]

Awesome video! The best part was him talking about his stance. You can totally see the surfing stance in how he fights. This guy has definitely become one of my favorite fighters. I could definitely see him taking the belt of Weidman (who is also a great fighter).

[@toprightchannel3080]

Makes me like him more. Seems like he's in his element when he's doing stuff rather then talking.

[@ingrogies1]

I think that's interesting what he said about his stance being from skating and surfing. You can tell someone who skate boards from the way they stand. Their body type and balance is unique. I played soccer for years and recently I've starting MMA. As I've got better at MMA when I go back to playing soccer my balance has changed and I can't move the same way to spread my feet apart, turn sharply, sprint and control a football at the same time. I can feel it in the way I walk as well.

[@infernapeDLS]

interesting, Im right handed but left footed when playing football (soccer). And when I started boxing it gave me benefits with balance because my stronger front foot always supported the mass and speed from my stronger back hand (When in ortodox stance) and I could easily switch to southpaw because of it. But when I tried skating for a year and some change, it felt off xd I could do an ollie and the occasional kickflip but everytime I landed something my balance was a bit off

[@ingrogies1]

D.L. Saro I'm right handed and left footed as well! It's interesting how different activities require your body to adapt a different balance.

[@LindsayKay]

Totally! From skating and from doing squats on a balance board, I'm in the habit of staying balanced and centered while turning. Getting some nice stability improvements from doing squats on that thing in natural and goofy stance, plus one legged dips/squats.

[@ingrogies1]

+Lindsay Kay That's so cool. I see people with epic balance and wish I could be like that. My balance isn't great especially on one foot unless I'm in motion. I think I'll have to start one legged squats. I saw a girl doing the skipping rope after training, her balance and footwork was so good that her feet were barely touching the ground. Maybe I should of tried skate boarding or surfing when I was younger!

[@wakaflockaflame394]

Interesting how his knockouts sometimes would look similar to one slipping off a skateboard

[@seanorourkeartist]

Well that was a fun fact, Luke Rockhold is good at skateboarding, who would of ever thought 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SMFFL100]

In the late 80s in santa cruz, I was in elementary school and there was a classmate named Luke Rock something or other. I never realized this was most likely ufc champ Luke Rockhold. I believe he would be in his late 30s now. The only reason I remembered his name was because I was obsessed with star wars and I was so jealous of his first name.

[@everysingleguitars]

that is very cool if this is true story

I tell you i was never a Luke Rockhold Hater i think that Guy is such a Insparition realy Calm good Human being with alot of Respect and Curage he deserves to be Champion and get his Titel back more then Micheal Bisping and others in the Division i wish him the best and hope he gets his Titel back but i aswell like Robert Whittaker hes cool! Overall i realy dont understand why some People hate him so much because he was a bit Arrogant sometime hes a Fighter wich Fighter was never a bit Arrogant when he became World Champion i gues he learnd his Lesson after he losed unlucky against Bisping nvm !

[@Chaosknight956]

Are you implying he is afraid to fight? He has stepped into the octagon plenty enough times to earn respect, and the fact that he skates and surfs just makes him more relatable. so what are you talking about sir?

[@the_WAAAGGHH]

look who's the champ now?

[@oooooooo4963]

Meanwhile, I can't throw a effing punch or a sub to save my life, nor can I holly.... some people have been blessed with all talents

[@fernandomaron87]

I can't punch neither, but i skate and surf like him, it's not about talent, more about hard work, of course genetics count when you're at his level of athleticism, but to learn to box, sub, skate or surf is all about detetmination and hard work
