Luke Rockhold was not happy with how UFC president Dana White treated him following his middleweight title loss to Michael Bisping in 2016.
Following his loss to Bisping, Rockhold took a year hiatus from the sport and sought other opportunities. The former champion said on the Rippin’ It podcast that White’s tone suddenly changed once he landed a modeling contract with Ralph Lauren.
“Once I lost the world title, Dana White came up to me and tried to beat me down mentally and I was like ‘F—k you,’ straight up,” White said (h/t MMA Fighting).
