Luke Rockhold The UFC’s return to New Jersey in April has its main event – an oft-rumored middleweight matchup between a pair of former champs. Former UFC light heavyweight champion and recent middleweight title challenger Lyoto Machida (22-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) will meet former Strikeforce middleweight champ Luke Rockhold (13-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the UFC on FOX 15 main event. Rockhold today announced the five-round bout on his Instagram feed. UFC on FOX 15 takes place April 18 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. The main card will air on FOX after prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. The event will be the UFC’s sixth at Prudential Center, though it will be the first visit to that venue on free TV.
