Luke Rockhold is being mocked by BKFC fans after trashing bare-knuckle boxing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former UFC middleweight champion competed just once in Conor McGregor<\/a>\u2018s fledgling fight league.<\/p>\n

Luke Rockhold<\/a> quit after literally getting his teeth bashed in by Mike Perry<\/a> at BKFC 41, April 2021. <\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019s upset some people by revealing his true thoughts about bare-knuckle ahead of his boxing debut against Darren Till<\/a> on August 30. <\/p>\n

Rockhold recently ripped into BKFC in a lengthy rant about the vicious fight sport. <\/p>\n

The promotion responded by sharing a crying GIF alongside Rockhold\u2019s comments on social media. <\/p>\n

BKFC\u2019s hilarious response prompted fans to pile on the 40-year-old MMA veteran. <\/p>\n

Even former UFC middleweight contender Derek Brunson<\/a> got involved in the trolling of Rockhold. <\/p>\n

\u201cHaha damn,\u201d he wrote on Twitter. While someone else added: \u201cIt\u2019s Luke\u2019s way of saying I\u2019m not that big of a warrior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGive admin a raise,\u201d a third said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike Perry behind the keys on this one.\u201d another joked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWonder what Luke thought would happen after getting punched in the mouth with a bare fist?\u201d a fifth fan asked. <\/p>\n

A bunch of other people simply replied to BKFC\u2019s troll job with crying laughing emojis.<\/p>\n

What did Luke Rockhold say about bare-knuckle boxing? <\/p>\n

Rockhold blasted McGregor\u2019s fight league<\/a> as he called for the creation of a new combat sport<\/p>\n

See below for the controversial comments that caused BKFC and its fans to mock him on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I would do that I think is way more bada\u2013 and not so f\u2014\u2014 stupid, because you can\u2019t gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing, I would do bare-knuckle kickboxing,\u201d Rockhold said. \u201cI would rematch Mike Perry and put him to sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way to gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing, they\u2019ve got metal ropes you just bounce in and out, bare-knuckle kickboxing is actually something with technique to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBare-knuckle boxing is not a fight, I realised that when I walked in and I was like, I\u2019m not losing my f\u2014\u2014 teeth without using everything I\u2019ve worked for my whole life. That\u2019s a dumba\u2013 sport\u2026 Who\u2019s willing to lose their face for f\u2014\u2014 nothing?\u201d<\/p>\n
