Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold (16-5 MMA) could have a career in bull riding when he decides to hang up the gloves.<\/p>\n

Rockhold was recently in Montana where had the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with a bull.<\/p>\n

As seen in the video below courtesy of his official Instagram<\/a> page, Luke Rockhold was able to utilize some of his MMA grappling skills to drag the bull to the ground and take dominant position.<\/p>\n

Eventually the bull would break free, but not before he got a lesson in grappling from the American Kickboxing Academy product.<\/p>\n

While Luke Rockhold is clearly having some fun outside of the UFC, he hasn’t been doing much smiling or laughing inside of the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Rockhold was most recently seen in action at UFC 239, where he suffered a brutal knockout loss to Jan Blachowicz<\/a> in a bout that served as his light heavyweight debut.<\/p>\n

That loss spawned promotional President Dana White to call for Luke’s retirement.<\/p>\n

Prior to being starched by Blachowicz last month in Las Vegas, Luke Rockhold was coming off another ugly knockout loss to Yoel Romero<\/a> at UFC 221.<\/p>\n

Luke’s most recent victory came back in September of 2017, when he defeated former World Series of Fighting ‘champ champ’ David Branch by way of TKO.<\/p>\n

Whether or not Luke Rockhold will return to the UFC for another fight remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Despite going just 2-3 over his past five fights, Rockhold is still a dangerous opponent for anyone inside the promotions middleweight and light heavyweight ranks.<\/p>\n
