The suspect chin of Luke RockholdBloody Elbow ranked Rockhold’s 5 worst KO losses before his suspect chin was cracked by Till in boxing.
The California native was stopped by Vitor Belfort in his UFC debut, but his downfall didn’t start until he was shockingly put to sleep by Michael Bisping in 2016.
Rockhold never recovered from losing his 185lb UFC belt in one of the biggest upsets MMA has ever seen.
Two more bad KO losses against Yoel Romero and Jan Blachowicz occurred inside the UFC Octagon.
Mike Perry literally smashed Rockhold’s teeth in and made him quit when he switched to bare-knuckle boxing.
Hopefully, Rockhold will listen to the fans and walk away from fighting after yet another KO defeat.
