Luke Rockhold says that move to the LHW division is imminent. How does he fare against the top guys?

[MuyThaiElbows]

His defense is terrible. He'd get KO'd against Jones or Gus. Possibly even Manuwa or Shogun could score a KO. Rockhold is talented but can't take a punch.

Assuming he never fights DC, I think he would be competitive with Gus and beat decisively Volkan, Manuwa, etc. Would love to see him grappling with Jones. Thoughts?

Luke has a cracked chin at MW.. LHW with more power murk him. Luke should head to Bellator.

He hasn't the balls..

Luke has to be one of the most frustrating fighters to coach.

On the verge of being a world class divisional dominator and potential GOAT he just ignores his one BIG weakness.

I dont get how someone can have such a sophisticated ground game were he had to work years for with exceptional talent and be such a retard regarding boxing defense. Compared to ground game its like he is a masterful bjj player with the choke defense of Rumble.

Can’t wait, his chin will shatter like a dropped wine glass.

only gus and maybe volkan. you guys need to fucking realize that there's NOBODY in the division anymore. also he may have a better chin since he's not depleting himself to make 185
