Luke Rockhold

Luke Rockhold holds a 16-6-0 professional record as a southpaw middleweight standing 6'3" with a 77-inch reach. A technical striker with modest volume output, Rockhold averages 4.10 strikes landed per minute at 49% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive awareness at 53% strike defense.

His grappling profile reveals a submission specialist rather than a takedown-heavy wrestler, averaging 1.0 submission attempt per 15 minutes against a modest 0.70 takedown average at 29% accuracy, though he defends takedowns effectively at 65%. Recent fight history shows mixed results: he secured a second-round TKO over David Branch in September 2017 and earned a unanimous decision victory against Jacare Souza in 2011, but suffered a devastating first-round knockout loss to Michael Bisping in June 2016 following an earlier submission victory over the same opponent in 2014.

Rockhold's submission prowess is evident in multiple first-round finishes, including quick submissions of Jesse Taylor and Cory Devela, demonstrating his threat from the mat. Now in the latter stages of his career, Rockhold remains a credible middleweight threat capable of finishing fights through either striking or submission, though recent setbacks have relegated him outside title contention.
