Morning Report: Luke Rockhold postponing retirement, interested in rematch with Chris Weidman

Luke Rockhold’s career has fallen on hard times recently, having won once since winning the UFC middleweight title in 2015. A pair of knockout losses to Michael Bisping and Yoel Romero caused Rockhold to make the move up to light heavyweight with the idea being that the easier weight cut would improve his performance. That proved not to be the case though as he was also knocked out in his light heavyweight debut. That poor run, on top of dealing with a swath of injuries, led Rockhold to reveal was strongly considering retirement and had “no interest” in fighting right now.
