Early this month, UFC president Dana White announced the possibility of matching up Luke Rockhold against Alexander Gustafsson in a potential light heavyweight fight at UFC 227 this August. However, these plans may need to be put on hold for the time being.
Rockhold apparently reinjured his left leg during training this week, which will likely keep him sidelined for the next few months as it heals. The news was first reported by MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani, which was accompanied by a graphic video of the former middleweight champion getting a part of his shin stitched up.
