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!!!

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

[@JohnnyMonday]

He's extremely underrated. Him in his prime and at his best is definitely one of the best ever.

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

He couldn't breathe properly after he took that shot in round 1. I don't know what fight you were watching.

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!

[@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.

[@BarneeFife]

6:45 can we take a moment to recognize that Rogan called a Tornado Kick a “360 roundhouse kick” … this is the same dude that called a bicycle kick, a “low kick that turns into a head kick” until like UFC 250. Dude doesn’t know fighting, he’s a sales person for the UFC.

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

[@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.
