Rockhold back at 205?! Yay or nay?

Luke fought once at 205 and didn’t look so good and he lost to Blachowitz… As we’ve now seen though, Blavhowitz is not a fringe top 10 guy, he is better than many of us thought. He crushed a very tough Corey Anderson and edged out Jacare…

Luke fought a dumb frantic fight vs Blachowitz so he needs to come back and fight a few more times at 205… I think he could find his footing and do well

Agree or disagree?

Chinny.  Stick a fork in him.  His only role now is taking out young talent.  No reason to stick around.

Id like to see him get knocked out a couple more times at 205 or 185

I thought he retired to do some modeling for J.C. Penny’s. LOL

Win or lose, he was usually an exciting fighter to watch fight. It would be a fairly shitty way for him to end his career if he doesn’t come back. 

He was an amazing fighter and fun to watch but his time is gone. 

He needs to retire and stay retired before his brains turn into liquid shit.

Didn’t look good… he seemed bulky and slow with the extra gym muscles. And going up a division where the guys hit a lot harder probably isn’t a good recipe for a chinny fighter.

Physically wise, talent and skill wise, Rockhold is still absolutely more than capable. As you said Blackowiz is simply just a fucking monster. No shame in losing to him. With how weak LHW is all it would take is 1 big for Rockhold. But it's all about the mental and if Rockhold still wants IT. Rockhold's heart is no longer in fighting, so Rockhold will never return to form even though he's still more then physically able. Really is a shame. Rockhold at his best was something else. As a fighter you never want to be mentally done, and that's where Rockhold is at

That had happened way before he started to fight. 

If he could just fix a couple of his flaws with his striking I'd still rate him in either division.

Had nothing to do with Jan, Rockhold just looked slow, old and like shit. 

His chin has been gone for quite a few fights now. Even in the David Branch fight he was hurt bad and in the verge of getting stopped in round 1. Time for him to call it a career. 3 concussions in his last four fights plus who knows how many others not a good. 

I'd say nay just based on his ability to take a shot.

Safer to retire. He was champ and had a good career. Nothing left to prove. I’m sure he made plenty of money, plus even without fighting I’m sure he has plenty of other talents and options. 

Hopefully Rockhold vs Rumble Johnson at 205

I like this. Then he can move up and face Mark Hunt at HW.

I know it’s wrong but I like seeing Luke and Weidman getting KOed.  They get KOed but don’t stop talking.  They should fight each other, that would be a great fight
