NEWARK, N.J. – Luke Rockhold may have solidified himself as the No. 1 contender in the middleweight division with his resounding victory over Lyoto Machida on Saturday night, but in the weeks leading up he was going through some travails.
Rockhold admitted that he was battling a bout of bronchitis when he fought at UFC on FOX 15's main event in Newark. He also explained why he suddenly had a bald spot on the back of his head, which wasn't there just a couple of weeks ago.
"I just try to take everything as a blessing in disguise," he said in the post-fight press conference.
