Former UFC champion Luke Rockhold calls out Jake Paul and Logan Paul, says they need to stop fighting "little f**king guys"
Luke Rockhold recently voiced his opinion about Jake and Logan Paul.
The former middleweight king accused the brothers of taking on opponents who are physically much smaller than themselves. Rockhold made it clear that he feels he is a fighter in Paul's weight class and would demolish both brothers if they ever happened to fight.
Calling out Jake Paul, Luke Rockhold had this to say:
"Him [Jake Paul] or his brother [Logan Paul] or both...they both want to legitimize themselves, but they are both fighting little fucking guys. If Jake fights a welterweight with no hands, he can barely... He fights Tyron Woodley, a welterweight with one hand. And Tyron is my boy but with all due respect - he doesn't pull the trigger anymore, and I'll pull the trigger and I'll hit my f**king mark."
Rockhold continued:
"And I'm a middleweight, I'm a real f**king man at your weight, straight up. And Logan too, either way, it doesn't matter."
Check out Luke Rockhold's take on the Paul Brothers in the video below [at the 2:50:10 mark]:
Rockhold, who retired last year after losing to Paulo Costa, has an impressive professional MMA record, having won 16 of his 22 fights.
Most of his wins have come by way of knockouts (6) and submissions (8). He also has 10 first-round finishes. The former Strikeforce middleweight champion has yet to compete against the Paul brothers, but it would certainly be an interesting match-up.
Luke Rockhold is now a free agent and willing to get back in action soon
In the same interview with Ariel Helwani, Rockhold also revealed that he is returning to combat sports after announcing his retirement last year following the UFC 278 loss to Paulo Costa.
Announcing his comeback, the fighter said:
"Your man's a free agent. Free and clear and I'm ready to, you know...kind of...re-inspired to go out there and do something new like... I need a new setting, I need a new challenge."
