‘I’m done being a f—ng slave’ - Luke Rockhold praises BKFC for ‘freedom’ with new deal

On Wednesday, Bare-Knuckle FC announced the signing of two former UFC champions into their roster. Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez are expected to make their bare-knuckle boxing debuts on April 21. Rockhold goes up against Mike Perry, while Alvarez faces former title challenger Chad Mendes.

The ex-middleweight champ appeared on The MMA Hour this week to discuss his signing, which he couldn’t be happier about.

“It’s an offer I couldn’t refuse. And, I’m still a free agent. That’s the beauty of life. That’s the beauty of where we’re at and where we’re gonna keep it.
