Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold is aiming for a decisive return in his Misfits Boxing 22 bout against Darren Till this weekend in Manchester.
Rockhold, who has enjoyed a mixed post-UFC career—including a knockout win over Joe Schilling and a loss to Mike Perry in BKFC—promises a fast finish this weekend. “I’m putting you down in 3 [rounds], D,” he declared on Instagram, predicting he will stop Till within three rounds.
A former submission threat in MMA, Rockhold has also scored notable knockouts in the UFC, including his four-round win over Chris Weidman for the middleweight title. Despite focusing on boxing for this matchup, the Santa Cruz native has left the door open for a potential MMA comeback.
Discussing a possible UFC return, Rockhold emphasized that any comeback would require a major opportunity, title implications, and significant financial incentives. He also weighed in on the middleweight division, noting the challenges posed by current champion Khamzat Chimaev.
