Brian Stann @BrianStann
One of Machida’s best weapons (left body kick) is gone today fighting a fellow southpaw, same for Rockhold but his arsenal is deeper

I have a feeling that Rockhold walks into every building giving people fives and pointing at them. Because he’s awesome.

It takes an extremely special talent to finish a fighter like Lyoto Machida. Luke Rockhold just earned himself a title shot. Well deserved

If Rockhold doesnt adopt the nickname “Dragon Slayer” after this fight, then he is missing out. We all are.
