MMA star Rock (11-1) has won his last three Oktagon fights by first-round stoppage and seeks a title fight amidst dreams of a future headline main event in Liverpool or Dublin.
Rock now trains at Liverpool next generation gym alongside UFC fighters Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann.
Undefeated Oktagon fighter Rock was accused of burglary leading him to flee to Asia for 10 years and master Mixed Martial Arts.
Liverpool’s Rock initially learned Jiu Jitsu and represented Britain in the World Championships abroad hence his impressive grappling ability.
The Jiu Jitsu specialist Rock told Merseysportlive, “My biggest dream is to fight in Liverpool at Anfield or Everton.
“However, to sell those stadiums you are going to need more than one scouser they are fifty thousand capacity stadiums.
“We can do that if we bring the whole scouse scene in. I would take a main event in Dublin it would mean the same to me.”
Scouse fighter Rock is known for submitting his opponents and has won his last four fights via the rear naked choke.
Rock now wants championship glory eyeing up future bouts with Oktagon lightweight champion Ronald Paradeiser and featherweight champion Losene Keita.
“There is only two fights that entertain me. Locene the kitty cat Taylor the little b**** and Ronnie.”
The MMA veteran Rock also revealed he has an opponent lined up to face at the end of this year.
Moreover, Rock also told Merseysportlive the positive impact training with UFCs Paddy Pimblett has had on his MMA career so far.
“Paddy leading the way and doing what he is doing is amazing it puts eyes on all of us.
“Like when Connor Mcgregor did it for Ireland. So just keep watching and you’ll see what we achieve.”
30 Year old Rock is entering the prime years of his career and is on course to achieve an Oktagon championship title bout.
Rock blends precision striking with grappling expertise, keeping opponents guessing at every turn.
