Ex-UFC Champion, Who Dated Demi Lovato, Once Cozied Up With Pop Heart-Throb Taylor Swift

Very few fighters had a glamorous career outside the Octagon and then entered the former UFC champion, Luke Rockhold. The middleweight fighter gained both inside and outside-the-Octagon success. Notably, he had an eventful 2015 year as he became the UFC champion and appeared in the reality show, The Millionaire Matchmaker. Also, Rockhold got snapped with the famous singer, Taylor Swift, in the same year.

Although the fighter gained a reputation for his hard-hitting kicks, he also established himself as a professional model. Significantly, Rockhold became the face of Ralph Lauren’s “Polo Blue” cologne fragrance in 2018.

Luke Rockhold and Taylor Swift’s snap

The Santa Cruz-born fighter had an illustrious career before he made his UFC debut. The 38-year-old fighter earned a perfect 9-0 win record in the Strikeforce that stretched over 4 years. In addition, he made two successful title defenses as the middleweight champion.

On Aug. 15, 2015, the 16-6 record holder posted a series of posts on his Instagram account. In those posts, the fans could witness the retired MMA fighter enjoying a Taylor Swift concert. The fighter in one of those posts even declared to have had a good time at the concert.

Likewise, in the last of those posts, Rockhold put a snap of him and the famed singer together. The fans could notice the American Kickboxing Academy team representative having a cozy moment with the singer.

Undoubtedly, the two-time world champion remained one of the best-looking fighters to grace the Octagon. Later on, Rockhold signed up for the New York model management agency, Soul Artist Management.
