Rockhold: ‘I was about to pull a Diaz brother’ and kick Lesnar in the head at UFC 226

Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was in attendance at UFC 226 early this month. The ex-WWE star even entered the cage right after Daniel Cormier won, which led to a shoving match that was highly reminiscent of a pro-wrestling promo.

Among those observing in the sidelines was Cormier’s AKA teammate Luke Rockhold. In a recent interview with Submission Radio, the former 185-pound champion revealed that he almost took part in the commotion.

“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.
