Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold will return to the Octagon next Saturday after a three-year layoff. At least that’s the plan as long as there aren’t any surprises ahead of UFC 278.
Rockhold is currently paired up against contender Paulo Costa, but the Brazilian has developed a reputation lately for being an unpredictable fighter—especially when it comes to making weight. Rockhold is hoping that his opponent hits the middleweight mark properly this time around. In an conversation with Ag Fight, the former champion made it clear that he wants a fair fight and is not willing to go too much over the limit just to make this easier for ‘Borrachinha’.
