Luke Rockhard Wants to eventually fight Jon Jones

[Actualized174]

"This time, it's going to be even clearer. With a full camp with no infections, no illness I'm going to finish him quicker. Chris has nothing for me. He's going down again either by knockout or TKO. I don't mind which one, I'll go in there and see what happens, but it'll be an even easier night for me. I have a few guys left for me here and then we will see. I'll handle the division here and then I'm always free to move up. I don't think Cormier is going to be around forever and I'm a lot younger so there's potential if he was to step down and step out then I would definitely move up and challenge."

Would watch the shit out of that.

Luke has nothing for Jones. He gets dumped repeatedly and hellbowed into raw hamburger.

 

[reddhelium]

to be fair, he didnt mention jon jones. just that he will clear out the middleweight division and then move up to light heavyweight for more of a challenge. by that time, jones might be fighting at heavyweight.

 

[XxWolfXx]

You haven't even defended your belt. Calm the fuck down. I won't count Weidman out either. Jones would slaughter him anyways.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Jones would own Luke so bad, it would be almost comical.

 

[Bacco]

Jones was already too big and too strong, and that was before getting bigger and stronger

 

[GAR]

Jones smashes him easy, too big.

 

[soulsstealer]

Nice to see conor changing the game.

 

[Toco]

if jonny bones gets himd own, hes getting submitted

 

[BjPenn2016FW]

Jeese Rockhold wait till your teammate DC fights him first...It almost feels like he's saying he has a better chance of beating him than cormier.

 

[mesmeric]

Good point, Jones wont be too keen to go anyway close to ground with LR.

Luke certainly has slick submissions, but I don't think he's ever submitted anyone from the bottom. His grappling from top control is legit, but there's nothing to suggest that he'd be able to submit Jones from the bottom. The more likely scenario is that Jones would pound him out. Luke is more technical on the feet, so his best bet would be to keep it standing. Obviously, he'd like to get top position, but it's highly unlikely that he'd be able to take Jones down.
