Former holder of the middleweight belt (84 kg) of UFC, Luke Rockhold he debuted with victory in Karate Combat, on April 20th. Now, the veteran seems willing to try to attract other former Ultimate stars to the event and, who knows, organize a super tournament for former champions.
The idea was floated by Luke Rockhold himself recently, during an episode of ‘JAXXON Podcast’.
When asked about a possible fight against Anderson Silvathe American confirmed his interest and also added the names of two other former champions of the UFC in the list of reinforcements for the hypothetical Karate Combat GP: Lyoto Machida It is Michael Bisping.
“Yes, Anderson Silva, (Michael) Bisping and Lyoto Machida, all on the same night. Yes, we are working on it. It’s a draw (to define the fights). It’s me, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida and Bisping, draw, two fights, title, Karate Combat”, suggested Rockhold.
Although it may seem unlikely, the idea of Luke Rockhold It’s not completely unrealistic. In fact, two of the former champions of UFC mentioned by the veteran – Lyoto Machida It is Michael Bisping – have already left the doors open for a possible duel in Karate Combat.
Therefore, all that would be left was the approval of ‘Spider’ Anderson Silva so that the hypothetical tournament could be negotiated.
