It appears Luke Rockhold may be contemplating retirement. Speaking to ESPN , the former UFC and Strikeforce middleweight champion said it’s possible that he never fights again. “I have no interest in fighting right now,” Rockhold told ESPN. The 35-year-old Rockhold (16-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC), attempted to turn his career around by moving up to light heavyweight earlier this year when the weight cuts down to middleweight started to take a toll on his body. “I never had as much of a cut my entire career before my last two fights,” Rockhold said.
