Luke Rockhold would want bare-knuckle kickboxing

Although Luke Rockhold doesn’t have a desire to do bare-knuckle boxing, there is one way to get him back.

Rockhold says he’d rematch Mike Perry if they could do bare-knuckle kickboxing, as with kicks to help the range, he feels like he’d beat up Perry.

“One thing that I would do that I think is way more badass, and not so f*cking stupid, because you can’t gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing,” Rockhold said. “I would do bare-knuckle kickboxing, I would f*cking rematch Mike Perry and put him to sleep. I don’t think he wants that.

“There’s no way to gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing, and they’ve got metal ropes, you’re just bouncing in and out. Bare-knuckle kickboxing, I think there would actually be some technique to it, and I think that would be badass,” Rockhold added. “That would be a real, real fight. That would be fun. I’d f*ck somebody up in that.”

Luke Rockhold is set to return to combat sports at a Misfits Boxing event on Aug. 30 against Darren Till. He’s coming off a TKO win over Joe Schilling in Karate Combat back in April.
