Former UFC champion Luke Rockhold wants UFC legends to compete in a one-night grand prix at Karate Combat. Rockhold didn’t say this was in the works, but launched the idea at the JAXXON PODCAST episode released Monday.

“It’s a lottery pick,” Rockhold said. “It’s me, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida and (Michael) Bisping, lottery pick, double fight, championship, Karate Combat.”

Rockhold won at Karate Combat

A few weeks back, the former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold picked up his first combat sports win in years as he knocked out veteran kickboxer and former Bellator fighter Joe Schilling in the main event of KC 45. Rockhold stopped Schilling early into the third round.

After the fight he called out Lyoto Machida.

“There’s only one man I want to fight in this pit, and that’s Lyoto Machida,” Rockhold said in his post-fight interview. “You’re lucky because they don’t allow elbows, so no more nightmares about the elbows. Bring it. Let’s see what you got, let’s see what the paychecks look like, bring out that check book.”
