In 2018 Luke Rockhold appeared on Submission Radio where is shared his displeasure seeing a returning Brock Lesnar. He called The Beast Incarnate a ‘Cheater’, which shocked the MMA fanbase. Moreover, he stated he does not like Brock Lesnar.
Rockhold said, “He cheats. He was exempt, he was exempt from so that he could cheat. And the fact they bring him back after that positive test and treat him like a king, that’s everything that’s wrong with the sport. I understand DC’s point of view. He wants the money. I wish him the best,”
He added, “I want him to kick Brock’s a** and do that, but the fact that this sport promotes Brock Lesnar coming back off of a positive steroid test after they exempt him before the fight and he still tested positive. You don’t see that happening in any other sport and it’s sad to see it happen in this sport.”
Lesnar had planned a UFC return when he stormed into the Octagon to confront Daniel Cormier at UFC 226. Moreover, their match was scheduled for a later UFC PPV, but it didn’t happen as Lesnar said he was done with MMA.
