News Luke Rockhold back in training with hard sparring footage

[GueseGuy]

This is very recent. From within the last few days. Those boys are fighting. Luke is back

 

[The UFC Brander Collector]

Nice head movement

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Luke's partner look turned on

 

[Calhoun]

Sparring without headgear.....seems like a sound strategy for a fighter whose perceived kryptonite is a paper mache chin.

 

[Tapatio]

They cut the footage where his head bounced off the floor after a jab

 

[Beherit]

old footage

 

[Memeojima]

Hands down at his sides, chin straight up. Will this idiot ever learn? If you got no chin you better have good defense. Luke's got neither

 

[BEATDOWNS]

That is considered light sparring at AKA

This is what a normal day looks like over there

Still, he got KOd from legit shots he did not see coming, to be fair

I hope they closed the windows. Those gusts of wind carry a mean punch.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Luke likes to end his fights with a kiss.

 

[ImmigrantMentality]

No this is really old footage, I remember this from a while back

 

[Mammothman]

This is old

 

[King in the North]

Is that Jason Jackson?


Edit: just read the caption

 

[Bobby Pistachio]

Had his sparring partner just thrown a left hook, Lukes head would be bobbling off the canvas

 

[listrahtes]

Its old but you rally see were they go wrong at Hooft and ROckhold especially. Nothing bad to spar hard from time to time but go like this is just unnecessary. You can really learn from the greats in KB.

Ramon Dekkers was a monster. He did his pad work at a very high power level, did drills at a high level but often sparred easy because it was to develop skills (timing, distance) and not breaking someone or himself. The same all the great Thais do.

MMA still has a lot of this nonsensical macho attitute and ROckhold is the posterboy for it. At least he was. Meat day at blackzillians was the perfect example. Dumb beyond dumb.

 

[Masturbin]

Hands down
Naked kick
Chin up

Yeah that's Rockhold

 

[Fahcough]

Is that Jason Jackson?


Edit: just read the caption

Yup. A WW who can scrap. His fight against Mein, he looked like he moved up another level. Very athletic striker .

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

jason jackson has the best jab in mma for my money. good guy for luke to learn from.

I don't think it's AKA, it looks like Sanford MMA or Hard Knocks 365 or whatever the old Blackzilians team is called nowadays.
