Luke Rockhold got to show off his grappling skills outside the cage.
In a video he posted on Instagram, he’s seen wrangling a bull in Montana, proceeding to pin it down, transitioning to full mount. Yes, the same way he won his UFC middleweight title when he finished Chris Weidman with a TKO in the fourth round at UFC 194.
When in Montana. #lfg#bareback @corey_wilson #yellowstone
The former champion has previously raved about his grappling skills, and they’re seen on full display above. Rockhold (16-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) is coming off a knockout loss to Jan Blachowicz at UFC 239 in his light heavyweight debut. It was reported he suffered a broken jaw, but it certainly seems like he is recovered. He is seen dragged to the floor while trying to wrestle the bull down.
UFC president Dana White said he thinks the part-time Ralph Lauren model should consider retirement, but Rockhold has yet to make a statement regarding his future following his loss to Blachowicz in July.
At least Rockhold appears to be happy and seemingly healthy.
