Luke Rockhold Admits Alex Pereira Won Him Over, Calls Him ‘One of the GOATs’

Ex-champion Rockhold confessed his stance on light-heavyweight champion Pereira has completely changed. “I used to hate on him, but he’s a gangster,” he said. Praising Pereira’s confidence and courage, Rockhold added, “He doesn’t have the ground game, but he’s got balls.” Pereira’s blistering two-division rise (middleweight to light heavyweight) continues as he eyes the heavyweight division after UFC 320 win.
