Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold has not set foot inside the octagon since his July 2019 loss to Jan Blachowicz. However, a recent interview suggests he’s almost ready to return.

With Luke Rockhold demanding an exciting opponent for his return to the UFC, the big question is, who should the promotion match him with?

Luke Rockhold is capable of fighting at either 185lbs or 205lbs, meaning there are plenty of options out there for him. Since he’s demanding nothing less than a high-level opponent, it means that the UFC will need to find something special for him.
