Maybe it’s kind of like when someone implies to Donald Trump that he’s a stupid person and then he responds by saying he’s the smartest person ever in the history of the world. Like maybe there’s some kind of new strategy now to flip your line of attack back on you, to the absurd extreme... 🤷♂️ People just say rando things that make no sense these days with a completely straight face
jesus youtube people just dont get sarcasm, of course he was joking, and i think he is quite witty, maybe that's why half the comments didnt even get that was a joke. nicky rod has the swag to become an ufc fighter in the future (after killing it in grappling first).
Isn't that basically what MMA is for, which is something that most schools offer anyway? Also, it's not that easy to just stomp on someone without getting leg locked, or to punch someone going after your legs for that matter. Try slap jiu jitsu with your friends and you'll see there are many leg locking positions from guard where you can effectively keep your opponents punching range at a distance.
@@pz320 lol ofcourse m8... he prob washes rockhold tomorrow tbh. Also I'm 80% sure he's just trolling in this video, you can see him sorta smirk at various points
Did this guy just say that Luke Rockhold is going to get gun shy under the bright lights? World title holder luke Rockhold? Polaris is small time compared to the ufc stage come on now. Should be a great match, that was just a weird statement.
I know people have said that Nick is playing a character, like Gordon, but he's showing how ignorant he is. Either that, or he's showing how false the facade is with such a weak performance. Luke is a former UFC champion, and Nick thinks Luke hasn't felt the pressure of the crowd, lights, and huge arena? Absurd.
Luke is right on about this new trend of bjj where butt scoot and leg lock is the primary attack. I love leg attack though, I just think it shouldnt be the primary option esp in self defense.
Two things i can't understand. 1. He says Luke doesn't have experience under the "big lights of the Polaris stage". The man has been fighting in UFC main events for the majority of the past decade. 2. He says England has given us Shakespeare and The Beatles. Last I checked, the match is in Wales.
Maybe the Sunglasses and Hollywood but definitely not the low blow with a scream. If Luke had more Bruce Lee in him he wouldn't be leaving MMA for Jiu-jutsu.
This would be a great transition for MMA fighters I feel. To go to Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. For those that aren’t so hot at it, it gives them something to strive for competitively and safer. And honestly it would bring more eyes IMO to that world with big names making that transition when they are done fighting in MMA. I’m sure they’d get paid nicely. Maybe not as much but it gets the ball rolling for the future. definitely tuning in myself tonight
Luke you are so good but you keep your hands down when striking. Hope you heal well and start taking people to the ground and impose yourself like before.
If only he lost this arrogance in fighting, he'd be the MW champion again two years back. When he came to the UFC he wasn't like this, he was serious with his opponents, he was more composed. Somewhere before the Weidman fight, he started having this weird talk and insane arrogance, he fights like that too, he has all the capabilities, but he fought like nobody is at his level, nobody can hurt him, and he's special. This is the #1 reason for his downfall, his mentality and arrogance, which resulted in his recent style. He's still the same now. Though, now, there is no going back. He's taken so much damage and KOed in his last 4 fights that he's essentially done. His chin is gone, his body rarely makes it through two fight camps consecutively, and his mentality is still the same even with these defeats, he never learned from them, because there is nothing to learn, he's the GOAT and he just didn't execute, that's what he tells himself, and the ppl around him perpetuate that. Since he left AKA, I don't feel his coaches are honest with him, that's what he lost, nobody keeps him in check
Former strikeforce and ufc middleweight champion luke rockhold finally stepping up to where the big boys play Polaris. Jus hope jon jones and khabib could use ufc as a stepping stone to get promoted to the big leagues one day
It's the right move. Luke wants to stay in competition, but doesn't want to deal with the brain trauma anymore. Hopefully, guys like Nate learn from this. You can only take the hits for so long until it ways a heavy toll on every aspect of your life. You gotta know when to shed the ego, and step away, so you can enjoy the rest of your life in relative health.
At first, it sounds like Nick wasn't told who his opponent was: " some new guy doing his first pro grappling match" because nobody could be that dense. And then you realize he's just that dense.
So main eventing U.F.C. Championship fights isn't big time like Polaris ???? It's on Fight Pass bro not PPV or ESPN . I've never heard of Nick Rod or whatever he calls himself. He may be great . But I have seen Luke Rockhold . And his ground game is ABSOLUTELY suffocating and he is ling and strong !! I've seen him out grapple Weidman and Machida easily . Those guys have great ground games . I'm n ooi t interested enough to order but I'll watch it after on mmashare
Was Nicky’s interview about someone other than Luke? Maybe he was just trolling saying he wasn’t ready for the bright lights and that UFC Fight Pass was the big leagues lol🤦🏽♂️
Anyone see luke free rolling with mike cheisa before there last fight. Not the same as this but mike couldn't do anything to him and kept getting subbed
Jiu jitsu is a sport which involves self defense, its funny that Luke thinks leglocks are the easy way out, what if there's a gun or knife involved??? a good leg locker should be able to beat you in a street fight when it comes to one one!
Well alright, Nicky Rod made me a Rockhold fan again.
Did this giant guido just say that Luke Rockhold hasn’t performed in front of a massive audience like Polaris..?
Maybe it’s kind of like when someone implies to Donald Trump that he’s a stupid person and then he responds by saying he’s the smartest person ever in the history of the world.
Like maybe there’s some kind of new strategy now to flip your line of attack back on you, to the absurd extreme... 🤷♂️
People just say rando things that make no sense these days with a completely straight face
He might have meant doing BJJ, not generally. He's pretty dumb either way.
he's a model idiot
He's joking
@SailorSam - Both are 😂
So he's been a UFC champion, but won't handle the pressure of Polaris. Are you serious mate?
jesus youtube people just dont get sarcasm, of course he was joking, and i think he is quite witty, maybe that's why half the comments didnt even get that was a joke. nicky rod has the swag to become an ufc fighter in the future (after killing it in grappling first).
"Jiu Jitsu should be based off of self-defense." - Rockhold.
BIG FACTS.
Why tho?
@@0fryguy0 \_(ツ)_/¯
Then train bjj for self defence instead of sports jits
Isn't that basically what MMA is for, which is something that most schools offer anyway?

Try slap jiu jitsu with your friends and you'll see there are many leg locking positions from guard where you can effectively keep your opponents punching range at a distance.
They r not training for the streets. They r training to compete
"This is on UFC fight pass... your're in the big leagues now bigboi" Good to see this scrappy newcomer rockhold a chance at the big time
Lol
what he said is pretty ignorant but you do know who Nicky rod isnt dont you? not a competitor to take lightly at all lol
@@pz320 lol ofcourse m8... he prob washes rockhold tomorrow tbh. Also I'm 80% sure he's just trolling in this video, you can see him sorta smirk at various points
😂😂
"Scrappy newcomer" 😂😂
Luke Rockhold “I wrote the bible on cringe interviews “
Nicky Rod “what. Hold by beer 🍺.....”
goodq hahaha holy shit this funny
Wasn't a big Luke fan before I watched Nick Rodriguez interview. Hope Luke taps him.
Nick Rodriguez "I'm going to bring something for the English" All well and good mate only minor issue is the fact you're competing in Wales....
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂
@Anderson Silva, you absolutely SUCK True it's like Canadians and Americans, basically the same people....
wtf is nicky rod even talking about?
Did this guy just say that Luke Rockhold is going to get gun shy under the bright lights? World title holder luke Rockhold? Polaris is small time compared to the ufc stage come on now. Should be a great match, that was just a weird statement.
This guy is delusional
i dont know him but he's retarted, he literally said "youre on ufc fight pass its the big stage now" to luke rockhold smh
@Marcus Middleton he is obviously joking
@@o.antonio thank you someone understands
I know people have said that Nick is playing a character, like Gordon, but he's showing how ignorant he is. Either that, or he's showing how false the facade is with such a weak performance. Luke is a former UFC champion, and Nick thinks Luke hasn't felt the pressure of the crowd, lights, and huge arena? Absurd.
Yeah that was beyond painful to listen to.
Hope Rockhold big brothers him
BHAHAHAHA dumbest comment ever maybe.
But this isnt an academic test. Its physical.
Ignorant as fuck
bro he is joking
The athletes in the sport of jiu jitsu overlook to the power of steroids tremendously. - Nick Rodriguez
And i thought rockhold was cocky nick is something else
Difference is Luke’s gonna get mopped
Nicks a young guy, came 3rd out of the best of the best with just 6months training... That is insane
Chris Chatwin ehh that rule set is built for him
Getting knocked out several times in a row tends to make a person humble.
Agree! I was going to tune in anyway, but this made it a little more interesting.
damn this nick is on all the juice ...
This guy nick makes luke rockhold look humble
Luke is a beast in grappling but art evolves.
WinterAgent idk I mean he was a beast in UFC until he transitioned to like only striking and practically abandoned the grappling
"I don't think he's ever had the pressure of the crowd " really ? Luke fought in some of the biggest stages and arenas, come on dude 😂😂
A good sign to see Luke training with Buchecha, gonna be a great match.
"My Opponent isgonna shut down under the bright lights of Polaris" does he know he's fighting Luke Rockhold. hahahahahahah
John Langan Question mark...?
as a mma fan i hope luke wins
Nick Rodriguez might be the only who can talk and make Rockhold very likeable
“ If something is worth doing, it’s worth over doing “
That’s a serious quote from a serious man.
Luke is right on about this new trend of bjj where butt scoot and leg lock is the primary attack. I love leg attack though, I just think it shouldnt be the primary option esp in self defense.
THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT DONT REALIZE NICK IS JOKIN
Two things i can't understand.
1. He says Luke doesn't have experience under the "big lights of the Polaris stage". The man has been fighting in UFC main events for the majority of the past decade.
2. He says England has given us Shakespeare and The Beatles. Last I checked, the match is in Wales.
Luke Rockhold has a bit of a Nicolas Cage flair about him.
Maybe the Sunglasses and Hollywood but definitely not the low blow with a scream. If Luke had more Bruce Lee in him he wouldn't be leaving MMA for Jiu-jutsu.
Luke moves so gracefully for his size very fluid.
I don't particularly like Rockhold but I agree with his views on modern Jiu jitsu. He'll still lose by heel hook though haha.
Nicky is going to have to give Luke a soft 7
👀
You're gay
When the smug got it all school bully meets an even bigger bully!! NOW IM EXCITED
Fearless MMA hahaha funny shit true though looking forward to this one can't wait.
Sounded like a bunch of runway models bitching
Lol, nice Troll Nick :D
Glad someone realized that.
These people didn't got it lol
@@realwork3358 literally hundreds of dumbasses think he is serious lol
7:20 wtf is he talking about
ahahahhah
Hahah epic 🤣

Rockhold has a brutal top game. Good match up!
Hope Rockhold smash this guy,Dagestan way.
Thank you Luke for telling these sport new age bjj guys the reality of today's bjj
The comments just made Nicky Rod's promo even more hilarious. Such a troll -- love it!
Did Gordon or Garry write for Nicky??
Never thought i’d say this but after watching this I hope Luke wins.
Luke you are so good but you keep your hands down when striking. Hope you heal well and start taking people to the ground and impose yourself like before.
Luke’s breathing when he’s just sitting around sounds laboured
He had probably just done some type of workout or something

This guy is a monster, underatted af.
IWC Big Pilot! Luke knows what wristwatch to wear.
Former strikeforce and ufc middleweight champion luke rockhold finally stepping up to where the big boys play Polaris. Jus hope jon jones and khabib could use ufc as a stepping stone to get promoted to the big leagues one day
“I listen but I don’t follow protocol” that’s a paradox my man
He’s training at RVCA?? Hmmm think the Bisping fight made him rethink his coach
It's the right move. Luke wants to stay in competition, but doesn't want to deal with the brain trauma anymore. Hopefully, guys like Nate learn from this.

Ufc is way bigger then any BJJ event. What is Nick saying?:(
This match is going to be amazing I hope it lives to its excitement!
Nick by RNC but he shouldnt be driving on drugs
Luke actually wasn’t cringe this time
Why is luke training at left hook Larry's gym
Wtf why is Luke training in Michael BispingsGym?
He's the Johny cage of the ufc
“ I’m Luke Left Hook Rockhold, I’ve been in this game for a long time “
Was Nicky’s interview about someone other than Luke? Maybe he was just trolling saying he wasn’t ready for the bright lights and that UFC Fight Pass was the big leagues lol🤦🏽♂️
Luke Rockhold “He likes to be the bull.. I can be the bull or the matador, where ever he wants to take it” spoken like a true non bull haha
A bit disappointed...been waiting for concieve believe achieve
Anyone see luke free rolling with mike cheisa before there last fight. Not the same as this but mike couldn't do anything to him and kept getting subbed
Of course he did, Michael used to be a lightweight, rockhold a big middleweight
Damn that's right Buchecha RVCA with Luke and Durhino
Rodriguez HAS to be doing a bit. I laughed so hard when he talked about Rockhold not being able to handle the bright lights lol
"You're in the big leagues NOW," LMAO DUDE is strike force/UFC champ
Nicky :They brought us Shakespeare and the Beatles”
im liking nicky rod the more he talks. doors hilarious fr.
Nicky Rod is the Dillon Danis of the Danaher Death Squad
Jiu jitsu is a sport which involves self defense, its funny that Luke thinks leglocks are the easy way out, what if there's a gun or knife involved??? a good leg locker should be able to beat you in a street fight when it comes to one one!
Nic Rod would be half the competitor he is without his secret sauce.
Nicky Rod is a poet.
Nick’s interview makes me wish this was an mma contest 🤦🏼♂️
No being on ufc fight pass your in the big leagues now boi
But wait
Isn’t that the big leagues ?
Nick Rod is hilarious!
haha funniest interview can't wait for this one.
nicky is just trolling and having some fun settle down everyone
Polaris is great and all, but the “big lights of Polaris”. 🤔
“Against a guy makin his pro debut” that’s why this guy will lose... as chinny as cukhold is you never underestimate him
You’re going to Wales ya fanny
Pressure of the crowd? How about winning the Middleweight championship of the world..
Didnt Luke just get KO'd by a grappler? After Luke tried to grapple him?
Luke can be the bull or the matador!!! Luke can also play ping
Pong even when there was no one to play with.
Nick will get humble in his one for sure
Not a chance
isn't thatr bisping's old gym? XD
Rockhold Will be the first one in grappling history to get ko:ed
Cael hahahaha
Yeah right make fun of the former Strikeforce and UFC champion. And he is better looking than you too
He said cause England gave us Shakespeare and the Beatles. lmao!
Y'all do realize nicki rod is just trolling right
Is niky trolling?
The Rutgers wrestlers will test positive for peds just by sharing the same mat with Nick Rodriguez
Does Nick even know who Rockhold is?
Nick Rodriguez is such a troll lmao... love it
These two got their skills on the mic from Tito
Lmao
:30 the dog be like hey i do that same thing when a flea is biting my ass
Never had pressure of a crowd? Rockhold was a strike force and ufc champ....
Am I the only one, who is halfway expecting Rockhold to get knocked out in some weird way?
What is talking about
Rockhold, please dont let pride get to you and try wrestling with the guy. Pull guard and wreck him
Did this guy just say Luke rockhold will get gun shy under the lights?? Does he fail to realize that he has fought under the lights for a living?!
Nick Rodriguez talking about Shakespeare made me laugh.
made me spit my food out when he said the english when the fight is in WALes
Anyone here ever hear of sarcasm? Nick rod clearly being sarcastic when talking about Rockhold.
