OMG...Luke in the FS1 post fight commentary

[Arm Barbarian]

Almost PAINFUL to watch.

Good fighter, terrible personality / speaker.

BUT - he DID hint at going up to 205 if DC goes to HW.

 

[SuperNerd]

He did more than hint, he clearly stated he wants to go to 205 but is waiting for DC to retire or move up.

 

[Dart Feld]

Man his striking defense and TDs against someone like Gus would just be plain unfair.

Though the division is so top heavy it's silly.

 

[Cucumber Slice]

I think he's more awkward but I agree he prob doesn't have the best personality. Lots of cringe lol

 

[BigGucciSosa]

He talks trash like a generic 80s high school bully

 

[Beastman09]

Jesus Christ. An interview only a mother could love. Even the way he was breathing was smug

This is coming from a Rockhold fan.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Given how his striking looked tonight why the hell would he go up to 205? They hit harder and the striking is better. I would take Glover to knock him the fuck out right now.

 

[ExitLUPin]

he cuts as much as anyone on the roster to make 185 he looked specially terrible this time in his prefight interview from the weightcut

not surprised hes been talking about moving up more, he even wanted to fight Werdum @ HW

 

[Roids]

lol I agree, I wonder what his problem is? Would have thought he would be extremely socially adjusted, yet always comes across as an epic douche.

 

[killakillakilla]

Didn't sound like a hint to me. He was pretty much saying that he will go to 205 if DC moves out of LHW

 

[SuperNerd]

It makes me feel better about myself that Luke looks and fights like he does, but still talks like a teenager on his first date when a camera is on him.

 

[SRN]

Plain awful

 

[V-Money]

But he's still pretty!

 

[Goodfella86]

Damn. That's like me. I can't talk to people because I'm a socially-inept human being. The only difference is: Luke has the world by the nuts.

 

[Jawth]

Kenny: I know you want a title shot but well, there's already one scheduled and an interim champ so you're not getting that.

Luke:....."I want the fight though"

 

[VAfan]

He did more than hint, he clearly stated he wants to go to 205 but is waiting for DC to retire or move up.

it's pretty impressive he can make MW at all, he always dwarfs whoever he fights there.

 

[SuperNerd]

it's pretty impressive he can make MW at all, he always dwarfs whoever he fights there.

He's gonna lose some of that hawt bod when he moves up though.

Not worth the risk imo.

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

I'M THE TOUGHEST GUY AND I WILL BEAT UP ALL THE OTHER GUYS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE TOUGHEST GUY. GOODNIGHT.

Something along those lines right?

 

[Patman]

Big dick and can fight. That's the male equivalent of a chick with a huge ass and is flexible. No need for personality.

 

[A.S. Deep]

Man his striking defense and TDs against someone like Gus would just be plain unfair.

Though the division is so top heavy it's silly.

-No way he outwrestles Gus when Jones couldn't. Gus KOs him in R1 or R2.
-Volkan would humiliate Luke. Imagine Luke trying to clinch with Volkan like Manuwa did.
-Weidman/ Rockhold 2 at LHW would be interesting, though. And we'd probably see them both with a lot more cardio. I still favor Luke.

So at best Luke can be #3, and that's if DC is gone and Jones gets a long suspension.
