Rockhold retired from MMA after a string of three consecutive losses in the UFC. However, the losses were to elite fighters Yoel Romero, Jan Blachowicz, and Paulo Costa. His last fight against Paulo Costa at UFC 278 at Salt Lake City earned both a fight of the night bonus.

Rockhold was also on the wrong end of an upset at UFC 199. At UFC 199, Michael Bisping, on 17 days’ notice, knocked out Rockhold in round 1 to claim the UFC middleweight championship. Unfortunately, he never won his middleweight title back.

Rockhold’s monstrous liver kick undoubtedly left a lasting impression on the viewers. The influencer’s painful reaction served as a stark reminder of the realities of MMA. In addition to Rockhold, Edson Barboza, and Giga Chikadze have used the liver kick to have good effects inside the UFC.

Rockhod was poised to have a big run in the UFC. However, since the loss to Michael Bisping at UFC 199, he has only won once. Moreover, injuries hampered his return, and his feud with the UFC brass over fighter pay dampened his chances. Rockhold was among the few to openly criticize the UFC about fighter pay when active on the UFC roster.
