New footage shows Luke Rockhold in oxygen mask as concerned Darren Till looks on after KO

Darren Till checked on Luke Rockhold as medical professionals tended to the KO’d ex-UFC champ

Rockhold is no stranger to suffering frightening knockouts.

The American’s combat sports downfall began when he fell off the middleweight throne at UFC 299, where Rockhold was knocked out by Michael Bisping. After a bounce-back win, consecutive KO losses to Yoel Romero and Jan Blachowicz followed.

Dana White urged Rockhold to retire after the brutal setback against the Polish light heavyweight, and had he followed that advice, he would have avoided the scary fate that befell him in Manchester on August 30.

New ringside footage has revealed just how badly Rockhold was put out by Till. A clip uploaded to YouTube by Seconds Out shows the former UFC champ being given oxygen through a mask by medical professionals.

A concerned-looking Till can be seen checking on his defeated rival, with whom he had a heated buildup to the event.

Luke Rockhold’s first statement after Misfits Boxing 22 loss

Rockhold’s first statement on his KO loss in Manchester was short and sweet.

He first addressed the result, and amid calls for Rockhold to retire, the ex-UFC champ gave a simple two-word reaction to the setback.

“S— happens,” Rockhold wrote on Instagram.

The post came alongside an image of the American sharing a beer with Till, and he also sent a message to his victorious opponent in the caption.

“It’s all love @darren till2.0.

“All the best to you brother.”
