With talk of him moving up, I don’t think it’s necessarily going to be a good move for him. He’s going to fight guys that are bigger and hit harder than at MW.

Thoughts on this.
 
Luke will steamroll the entire LHW division. Mark my words.
 
There aren't many guys on his skill level besides Gus and maybe Glover (who's old) IMO, Volkan would also be very dangerous to him for obvious reasons. He should be able to beat guys like OSP and Manuwa though... well unless his striking defense fails him again of course.

He should be able to beat all of those guys, unless he loses to them.
 
With DC going up....it's a way to reinvent himself.

I don't love Rockhold but felt bad for him. 2 losses in the last 3 is bad for a top dog like him.
 
He's so big I'm surprised he can consistently make the cut to middleweight, it has to be draining him quite a lot. I think that would be the correct move to go up in weight.

I mean, he should be favored over the latter guys like Overeem is usually favored when he loses. lol
 
He will fuck up Tyson Pedro that's for sure
 
If he ever learns striking defense maybe but he hasn't yet
 
He should retire now and come back as a lhw next year. Gives him time to do some stuff without USADA
 
years of draining himself to 185 has depleted his chin to the point of no longer being able to take 185 pound hits imagine if he went up against a 205er RIP godhold
 
Would be really fun seeing Shogun knock him out. It could happen. Shogun hits hard and is accurate, Rockhold... you know.
Shogun also kicks very hard, so wouldn't take it for granted Rockhold could chill at kicking range, though I guess Rockhold has a bit better reach with kicks.
 
Good we get to see more KO faces from Luke.
