Luke Rockhold blasts Sean Strickland for not delivering at UFC 312
Luke Rockhold is no longer in the UFC however he still wants a piece of Sean Strickland.
Recently, after Strickland’s loss to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 312, Rockhold heavily criticized 'Tarzan' on The Ariel Helwani Show. The 40-year-old who believes that Strickland failed to deliver on his promise, said:
“We all watched the fight. We all heard this guy talk about ‘To the death, Dutchman, to the death. This motherf***er talks such a big game, and then he b*tches out and basically quits in the fight after he breaks his nose... Just look at him out there just talking... I’m just tired of fake people. You see everything he presents himself as, which he is not.”
