Alexander Gustafsson Willing to Welcome Luke Rockhold to Light Heavyweight Division

After his loss to Yoel Romero in the UFC 221 headiner, Luke Rockhold might not be long for the middleweight division.

The longtime American Kickboxing Academy member recently told MMAjunkie.com that he could move up to light heavyweight within a year due to the difficult cuts he endures making 185 pounds.

“I’m not here at middleweight too much longer. It’s too hard to make weight,” Rockhold said.

“It’s not fun. Plus the division at light heavyweight without Jon Jones is not the same. The middleweight division is much tougher.
