Media Luke Rockhold talking about Alex Pereira

[HHJ]

Luke can probably beat him if he took it the ground. Luke would probably just try to stand in front of Alex and get knocked out.

He didnt beat Costa on the ground.

He didnt beat Costa on the ground.

Costa is much better than Alex on the ground. Alex is honestly not a "legit" black belt. Alex isn't great off his back. You can look at his training videos. He prefers to be in the top position. In MMA he most likely will never get to the top position and has to fight off his back.

Maybe lukes top control ain't what it used to be

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Luke got KTFO by one eyed Bisping.

Poatan would absolutely send him into the shadow realms.

 

[Chubi]

Remember when he fought Paulo Costa and could not take him down ?

 

[blaseblase]

This sounds like it's before Pereira ever fought for the title, which was a reasonable time to question his skills as the UFC were giving him easy matchups.

 

[Oscar Madison]

Alex Pereira haters need a Support Group -- collective tears and therapy might cleanse their toxic hate.

Luke off his back is still much better than Alex on top. Luke isn't that lost. He is still doing the celebrity grappling circuit. He had one scheduled not too long ago but it got cancelled.

Don't get me wrong. Luke's wrestling isn't good but in terms of fighting on the ground he is better than Alex in top or bottom. Alex beating Luke in grappling is like Luke beating Alex in kickboxing. There is a skill gap.

 

[Fire Belly]

he also got walk off KOed bu one eyed michael bisping.

Don't recall that being a walk off KO. From memory, Bisping was wailing on Rockhold, who was slumped against the cage, until the ref pulled him off.

 

[AmalgamOpus]

I wonder if he'll ever realize his arrogance is what ruined his career.

 

[bng]

Luke's ego is his worst enemy. Only god knows how much unbearable shit we could've listened to if Luke won some of his fights he lost instead.

 

[Last Falconry]

this is a phenomenon that should probably be studied. All Pereira really does is quietly murder almost everyone he fights and the reaction of every washed up loser close to his weight class is to say how limited he is and how many easily exploitable weaknesses he has. It's insane and frankly pretty embarrassing

 

[airic_15]

Rockgoat would do whatever he wanted to Potatoman on the ground.

but would get slept when he got close to him...

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Luke’s takedowns have never been impressive. Poatan KTFOs any version of Luke

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

I wonder if he'll ever realize his arrogance is what ruined his career.

I don’t think so. He’s like a less successful male Ronda Rousey

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

 

[BluntForceTrama]

im about 85% sure that Rockhold is autistic or on fhe spectrum so....

 

[HP_Nut]

Luke is arrogant enough to think he can stand & trade with Alex. Luke is a treasure for memes that keeps on giving, 1 of the most unlikable personalities in MMA

 

[Xanzito]

Luke off his back is still much better than Alex on top. Luke isn't that lost. He is still doing the celebrity grappling circuit. He had one scheduled not too long ago but it got cancelled.

That may be true, but could his chin handle for as long as it takes for Rockhold to take him down?

 

[RockyLockridge]

he was right though, this was before he fought isreal and it is true they gave him the route to the top
