Luke Rockhold got a rude awakening in his bareknuckle boxing debut, courtesy of Mike Perry.
This past April, the former UFC middleweight champion debuted in bareknuckle boxing against Perry, a fellow UFC veteran, in the main event of BKFC 41 in Colorado. Although Rockhold had a size advantage on Perry, he had was battered by Perry’s punches, got his teeth broken in the process, and decided he had enough.
Perry won by TKO due to retirement in the second round of their contest.
