Ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold to grapple Craig Jones on Sept. 21
Luke Rockhold is resuming his grappling career.
The former UFC middleweight champion has booked a grappling match against Craig Jones for Sept. 21 in Pais Arena in Jerusalem. The grappling match will be part of a mixed form of martial arts fights hosted by Israel Fight Night.
The promotion announced the news Sunday. Jones also confirmed the booking on his personal social media. No details on the rules or weight class were announced for the grappling match.
Rockhold, a former UFC middleweight champion, left the Las Vegas-based promotion in August 2022 after a loss to Paulo Costa, which won Fight of the Night. The 38-year-old returned in March for a bareknuckle boxing match, but lost his BKFC debut by TKO to Mike Perry.
