Unbeknownst to most, former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold is probably getting his butt kicked on a daily basis. By who you ask? Probably his popstar girlfriend, Demi Lovato.

Lovato is an actress and a musician who started out at the Disney Channel before moving on to bigger roles and coming out with a few albums. She is most famous for her 2011 hit single “Skyscraper”.

Who Could Have Guessed Demi Lovato Was Such a Badass?

A week ago however, Lovato announced a break from the music industry for 2017, saying that she is “not meant for this business and the media”.

Could she be planning a move to mixed martial arts? UFC on FOX analyst Jay Glover, who trains Lovato, seems to think she could do very well as an MMA fighter.

“She’s a bad little lioness,” Glover says of Lovato. “She would whoop a lot of people’s asses. Absolutely. She throws elbows better than most of the UFC guys that come [into the gym].”

UFC on FOX Analyst Jay Glover Says Lovato Can Fight MMA Professionally

The 24-year-old Lovato began dating middleweight Luke Rockhold it was revealed earlier this year, after meeting each other at Unbreakable gym in Los Angeles.

Since then, Lovato has definitely upped her MMA training, taking inspiration from her fighter boyfriend.

“She gets mad if we don’t get after her harder,” said Glover. “She’s definitely one of our fighters, without a doubt.

“I wish I could bottle up her mindset and sell it to all the guys in the UFC and Bellator. She’s a bad little lioness dude. Don’t mess with her.”

So if Glover, who covers MMA for a living, can praise Lovato so hard for the way she trains, would it be conceivable that if Lovato were to pursue a career in MMA, that she would be successful? Based on Glover’s description of how she trains, it certainly is a possibility.

“She’s brought [fighting] up to us a million times,” said Glover. “But she has that mindset. You see how hard she hits?”

Glover then went on to recall an instance when he was holding pads for Lovato and the singer kicked him in the ribs, giving him “the worst bruise I’ve had so far”.

“She’s a violent little b*stard,” said Glover.
