Rockhold stated, “You know, you gotta let things go, you gotta move on. I’ve crushed it with Vitor, I’ve crushed it with Bisping. It’s the fight game, it’s a crazy game but you gotta move on, you gotta let things go. It is what it is.”
Rockhold is actively planning a return to the octagon. His most recent fight resulted in a loss to Jan Blachowicz, the defending UFC light heavyweight champion, at UFC 239 in 2019.
