I know Luke turned off a lot of people with his saltiness post-Bisping but I really hope he returns to form, because when he is on his game he looks nigh unstoppable.
Watch the video. Hands down chin up plus cockiness. Didn't he learn from the Bisping fight? He'll get Koed again.
yeah.. "don't fix it until it is broken," but now it is broken and it needs to be fixedHe fights like that quite often, but people needed an excuse for him after Bisping knocked the shit out of him

I still think Rockhold is the most complete fighter at MW. Crazy striking and slick ground game. Think he beats everyone at the top of the division from here on out. Just gotta keep that ego in order

Jon would work his ass against the cage worse than Glover lmao.I agree and honestly would love to see him matched up vs JJ - his style would give Jonny fits imo.
He will regain the mw belt, plus he's never lost with the beard
Luke Rockhold doing his hands down Carl Froch impersonation will get him destroyed again. He's a brilliant grappler with good kicking game yet when he developed semi-decent boxing he already thought he's the next Ali or RJJ and he got more and more cocky until getting obliterated by left hook Larry. He should stick to fundamentals.
The problem with most of the guys impersonating these hand(s) down styles is that they don't have the footwork fundamentals covered. Take for example Floyd, the reason why his style worked is largely because of how good his footwork and countering was, as well as his out of this world reflexes. Then you see guys like Broner and Berto trying to do the same and failing.
I thought Luke learned his lesson but here you have him sparring like this again.
Here you can see the basic flaws in Luke's boxing style:
And since I mentioned Carl Froch this is how you implement both hands down style if you have an iron chin. One of my favorite rounds in boxing, it looked like something out of a movie:
