Luke Rockhold is expected to make his UFC return in November
After a layoff of over two years, former 185-pound champion Luke Rockhold will likely return to the octagon at UFC 268 on November 6. He is expected to take on Sean Strickland in his comeback fight.
The 36-year-old was last seen in action at UFC 239 in July 2019. Rockhold made his light heavyweight debut that night against Jan Blachowicz. Unfortunately, the fight did not go the California native’s way as he was knocked out in the second round by the Polish fighter.
