After his defeat at UFC 221, Luke Rockhold’s ambitions have shifted towards the light heavyweight division and a fight with the champion, Jon Jones for the undisputed belt.
Rockhold recently told TMZ, “Hold tight, I’m coming, Princess.” A shot which was directed towards the current 205-pound champ. Rockhold believes he’s a different man at light heavyweight, with more power behind his hands and he’s made it clear that he wants to fight Jones. It’s the reason for wanting to move to the champ’s weight class.

Although he will most likely fight a top ranked opponent at 205-pounds to prove he’s a contender for the belt, Rockhold believes, “[Jones] he looked beatable” at UFC 232 against Alexander Gustafsson.
Here are the fights we believe would be good matchups for the former middleweight champion:
