VIDEO: UFC middleweight Luke Rockhold fell victim to one of the meaner April fool’s pranks

That's not very nice

If you have the courage to mess with a fighter as dangerous as Luke Rockhold, then we kind of have to applaud you.

The good folks over at BJPenn.com did just that yesterday when they tricked the middleweight into thinking that his upcoming opponent, Lyoto Machida, was injured and had withdrawn from their fight in two weeks time.

Rockhold (13-2) struggled to keep his cool when he learned of the news in a fake article on the website and was just about to text UFC president Dana White to ask for an explanation when the ruse was revealed.

It takes a braver man than us to attempt something like this.
