Add Luke Rockhold to the long list of fighters and pundits who weren’t impressed by Andrew Tate this past weekend.

The social media influencer faced Chase DeMoor in the main event of Misfits Mania in a six-round boxing match, and despite being a massive favorite in the combat sports community, Tate delivered a head-scratching showing, losing to DeMoor via majority decision.

Rockhold has certainly had his ups and downs over the years — including a brutal knockout loss to Darren Till under the Misfits umbrella earlier this year. The former UFC middleweight champion gave his thoughts on Tate’s unmemorable outing.

“Yeah, I mean for a four-time world champion, you should have been able to box, that’s all I’ve got to say,” Rockhold told Submission Radio. “If you are a four-time world champion, because I’m a four-time world champion, but I might’ve lost, but I showed that I can still box. In any department of fighting, I can still do what I do.

“Andrew, he didn’t look good, didn’t look like he had fought before.”

Tate does have some mixed martial arts experience, compiling a 3-2 record as an amateur fighter. In his pro MMA debut in 2010, Tate was victorious over Shane Kavanagh for Ultimate Warrior Challenge in the United Kingdom.

“Credit to Andrew Tate, stepping up and doing his thing. I love the way he presents himself and how he challenges himself to go do something. At the end of that day, that fight was f*cking horrible. It was a really bad fight on both ends,” Rockhold added.
