MMA Fighting<\/a>. “I realized going in there, I’m not losing my f*cking teeth without using everything I’ve worked for my whole life. People are f*cking dumb. That’s a dumbass sport. Metal (ropes) that you just hit, and they throw you back into the brawl. There’s no way to gauge that distance, and it’s like who’s willing to lose their face first for f*cking nothing.”<\/p>\nRockhold says he would consider bare-knuckle boxing if they added one more element to the ruleset.<\/p>\n
“One thing that I would do that I think is way more badass, and not so f*cking stupid, because you can’t gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing,” Rockhold said. “I would do bare-knuckle kickboxing. I would f*cking rematch Mike Perry and put him to sleep. I don’t think he wants that.<\/p>\n
“There’s no way to gauge distance in bare-knuckle boxing, and they’ve got metal ropes, you’re just bouncing in and out. Bare-knuckle kickboxing, I think there would be actually some technique to it, and I think that would be badass. That would be a real, real fight, and that would be fun. I’d f*ck somebody up in that.”<\/p>\n
