THE NEW UFC MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP LUKE ROCKHOLD BEATS WEIDMAN

Luke Rockhold may have been the underdog in this fight but unless you are as powerful as Vitor Belfort there’s not a lot of middleweight that can beat this guy. Even a Lyoto Machida only lasted 2 rounds against this tough dude. Rockhold delivered a stunner to the world as he left Weidman bloody to the canvas in the 4th round of their fight. 

I, for one, was a believer because he was as good as Chris in every aspect of the game but i think he is more well rounded and packs a heavier punch than Weidman.

I am sure that Rockhold would want to avenge his loss against Belfort but we will see if UFC will give that shot or give Weidman a rematch. Rockhold is not invisible by any means but you really have to deliver a solid blow to put this guy down. 

Congrats Champ!
