Bullfighting is an extremely dangerous sport where you put your life on the line. The former professional MMA fighter managed to leave his mark on the bull. But, fans were unhappy with the result.
Luke Rockhold won, but at what cost?
In the video shared on Facebook, Rockhold wrestled with a bull and claimed victory. It began inside the bull chute with the 38-year-old having the upper hand. He already had his hands firmly around the neck of the beast before letting it out.
Once the gates were opened, the creature tried to run and escape from his grip. But the MMA professional didn’t let go of its neck and followed it. The bull maneuvered around to face in the direction of its opponent and charged into Luke Rockhold. But the former Strikeforce middleweight champion used the bull’s momentum to flip it on its head.

The bull must’ve felt a good amount of pain while stuck under the arms of the 185-pound athlete. He then attempted to mount the beast, but to no avail. The beast saw the window of opportunity while the fighter left its neck to force itself away from the area of conflict.
Luke Rockhold was proud of this feat and celebrated it in style, but comments on the Facebook page didn’t share the same emotion toward the fight.
MMA Fans slam into the unfair nature of the fight
Fans in the comments thought the fight was unfair, as the bull looked young and weak. Also, pointed out how the story would be different if Rockhold fought the bull without holding its neck from the start.
