Former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champion Luke Rockhold nearly “pulled a Diaz” after his friend and American Kickboxing Academy stablemate Daniel Cormier knocked out Stipe Miocic to become the heavyweight champ.
Cormier was immediately confronted by Brock Lesnar after the win, with the WWE superstar and former UFC heavyweight kingpin shoving DC nearly across the Octagon in the process.
Cormier’s AKA teammates and cornermen quickly sprung into action to defend the two-time world champion, but Rockhold was ready to take it a step further, telling Submission Radio that he nearly “pulled a Diaz brother” on the hulking WWE superstar:
“I was trying to judge the situation because I was about to pull a Diaz brother and jump on his back and kick Brock in the head,” Rockhold said.
