"To go from being a UFC champion to competing in a Power Slap match is quite a contrast. Luke Rockhold is seemingly considering a move to Dana White's controversial Power Slap, league. The contest has been widely criticized for leaving athletes vulnerable to CTE, as they basically take headshots with no chance to defend themselves. Rockhold recently suffered a 12-0 loss in a wrestling match against Colby Covington at RAF 5."
""Compete, challenge myself, get in shape, learn a new sport, and get paid with no risk," Rockhold wrote on social media. "Lost a few points but had a good time. Happy to see wrestling make it to the big stage. Power slap, see you soon." Rockhold (16-6) lost his UFC middleweight title to Michael Bisping in 2016. Rockhold initially retired after fighting just three more times in the UFC."
Luke Rockhold is considering a move to Dana White's Power Slap league after a varied post-UFC combat career. Power Slap has been widely criticized for leaving athletes vulnerable to chronic traumatic encephalopathy by allowing headshots with no opportunity to defend. Rockhold lost a 12-0 wrestling match to Colby Covington at RAF 5 and indicated he may be leaving RAF. Rockhold said he wants to compete, challenge himself, get in shape, learn a new sport, and get paid with no risk, adding "Power slap, see you soon." Rockhold won the UFC middleweight title before losing it to Michael Bisping in 2016, returned for a 2022 loss to Paulo Costa, and later competed across Karate Combat, bare-knuckle, boxing, and wrestling with mixed results.
