Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold is looking to get paid for his looks and his fists, as he heads to New York Fashion Week in Manhattan.<\/span><\/p>\n

While rumors are abound over his love life with Demi Lovato, Rockhold has been fielding offers for a modelling contract according to the man himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI will be going to NY Fashion Week next week and I\u2019m looking to sign a modeling contract,\u201d Rockhold said during Monday\u2019s MMA Hour<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve got offers from one of the top two (modelling) brands\u201d.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a fighter at heart, but I\u2019m here to get paid. We\u2019re talking big numbers (for modeling contract).\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Following a disappointing knockout loss to rival Michael Bisping, Rockhold told Ariel Helwani he is exploring his options for income outside of fighting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna go out there and put my body through (fighting) when I can also get paid (for modelling), Rockhold said. \u201cI beat my body down during training and fighting, and my opportunities have grown recently, so I\u2019m dabbling with that.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although the Californian was tight-lipped over his possible romance with former Disney teen star and pop-singer Demi Lovato, Rockhold seems excited over a potential career in modelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c(Modelling agents) are all for me being a fighter. I\u2019m just looking to stack some cash.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMy face has never been cut or badly bruised in any of my fights, and I\u2019ve fought the best in the world.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
