Luke Rockhold is nearing a return to the cage and is willing to run things back with the former champion he once dethroned. Earlier this week, Rockhold confirmed that he won’t be retiring after all and is aiming to fight before the end of 2020. Rockhold (16-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC), who hasn’t competed since July 2019, is currently rehabbing from shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff, which he expects to sideline him for another month. Rockhold sees plenty of options for his comeback fight and wouldn’t mind rematching Chris Weidman , who he bounced out of the ranks of the unbeaten to win the middleweight title in 2015 at UFC 194. “I’m looking at whoever’s available in the current climate of when I’m ready,” Rockhold told Submission Radio
