i cant believe they didnt include HES STILL MY BOIII
Weidman: "Damn I can beat this guy on the feet wtf"
Rockhold: "Damn I can beat this guy on the ground wtf"
😂😂😂
Lol 😂
Weidman got dominated in every position
@@sams8502 your mom got dominated in every position
That embrace at the end with Cain, Cormier and Rockhold was so wholesome. Free Cain.
Yeah, Back when Cain was Still Free....
@@maloperverso8118 he is already free mf read some news
@@thefutureisnow_ He is Not!
🤔
@Area69employee Yeah it’s honestly ridiculous that they aren’t at least allowing him bail. I’ll admit chasing after somebody in a car and letting off shots is very wreckless and I wish he would’ve just used his hands but he had a very clear reason to be dangerous to that single person on this earth. Dude is no danger to anyone else and it’s ridiculous how he’s being held. If it wasn’t for the injuries he’d the Heavyweight GOAT.
@@isaiah1931 - A lesson learned that you can't take the law into your own hands (though I understand why he did it). The DA here is a criminal tyrant (the entire DAs Office from my personal experience).
There is minimal crime in Silicon Valley and thus they prosecute everyone, including unjustly/ unwarranted prosecutions, the goal being to force everyone into a plea agreement regardless.
They don't impartially investigate cases (both sides), and they prosecute innocent people (myself among many others) based on the Felony Perjury of Police Officers.
Where there's minimal crime (for an area this large), they have to justify their existence and manufacture crime to serve the revenue generation/ career industry that is the Criminal Justice System/ Prison Industrial Complex.
20:05
Look at the way DC just snatches Rockhold up from off the ground. Dude is deceptively strong.
Yeah, holy shit.
😂😂 exactly what I thought!
@@jjsanche90210 i always liked chris but sometimes shit happens .
@@medinamenmedinamen.1467 yeah I like Chris too, but Stewie and Peter are just too hilarious.
Deceptively?
"And he went for this wheel kick... and that was beginning of his demise" Joe Rogan didn't know he was talking about the rest of Weidman's career
Regardless, This was a great fight. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. As a spectator this fight had everything i wanted and the challenger won. What more could i ask for?
USADA played a factor.
🤣🤣
Rogan knows shit most of the time
These was the peak fight of both fighters and it was never the same for these guys
Damnm this feels like a 100 years ago
4:12 almost looked like Weidman tapped there
The fact that Herb didn't stop that fight in the third round is mind boggling
Herb used to be a great referee
And let him avoid being taken down by grabbing the cage. If you look into the crowd, Chuck Liddell is screaming at Herb, kinda funny. 16:57
My thoughts exactly! I came here to make that comment.
Yet he stopped Conor vs Mendes due to a few punches after a knockdown, with 2 seconds left in the round
I don't get where Herb ever got the reputation of being a great referee. He's always been highly inconsistent, and now he seems to mess up big time every other week. Either by letting fights go way over time or by stopping them way too soon.
20:00 that made me laugh so hard lmao. Imagine being through absolute war, winning, trying to have a moment for yourself just to get ragdolled by DC
Deceptively strong is Cormier 😂
Bruh did he just carry him from the ground like that?!
@@ancelmox5395 And Luke is HUGE
Honestly so wholesome.
Lol it's like picking up a plank. It was so quick and easy Luke remained the same position.
20:05 It always baffles me how easy DC picked up deadweight Rockhold there. I remember that’s the exact thing which came to my mind when I saw it live.
Lmao that was a dad moment
a 250lbs wrestling machine picks you up the way he want lol.
I know right?! And he made it look so easy 😂😂
DC is a tank
That was INSANE lol
a good hard fought victory.. nice one
good ol' Herb "Yamasaki" Dean @15:30
Herb Dean turned into Mario “if he’s breathing he’s still in it” Yamasaki for this fight.
Luke Rockhold left high kick is stuff of legend
Holy shit I like Luke but let's not forget he got KOd by a man with one eye who is significantly slower than izzy and not newly as sharp. No disrespect to bisping he's legend but come on as fans can't we be real? Rockhold even in his prime has no chance you guys aren't overestimating Luke's ground game you are just simply UNDERESTIMATING izzys defense when it comes to grappling 🤦♂️ fight wouldn't even close I'll leave this here in case it does get booked so another one if my comments age like wine
his body kick is his best kick. he's good at wearing people down with it.
wow what a fight
I feel rocked watching this.
That spin kick from Weidman is the precise moment his career started winding down
Bravo Vince
That spinning wheel kick altered the entire MMA landscape. If Weidman never threw it and won, Bisping may have never become champion, GSP may have never come back to win the MW belt, Whittaker may have become champion sooner and locked in solid defences. The entire MW landscape could have been different. Crazy to think about.
Wowzors you're right
Prime Weidman was unbeatable and one of the best ever. He made some serious mistakes with his career starting with that spinning kick which blew this fight. He’s talked about his mistakes, but still one hell of a middleweight champion and future hall of famer.
@@riseofazrael Romero would've become MW Champion
I remember thinking that this was the highest level middleweight fight of all time at that point. Then both their careers completely collapsed on an epic level never to return.
Have some respect for Chris the goat Weidman.
Not high
Is it still the highest level midddleweight fight you’ve ever seen?
@@j.gwells5252 no thats why they said “ *was* the highest level MW fight”
Yeah, you don't always come out of a fight a better fighter. A lot of times you take shots to the brain that damage your ability to be a good fighter
What a fight
14:20 the "wheel" kick
Herb Dean is so random. Sometimes he stops ridiculously early, and then we saw this at the end of round 3 !!
He wanted to give Weidman a chance. He didn't do him any favors though.
@@MattFinstein Ref's are supposed to step in from 3 unanswered strikes onward. I counted 53+ here. Now you could argue that since they were ground strikes, maybe wait until 5-15 to see if the fighter gets back into the fight, but after he gets busted open and starts flailing like a younger sibling, it's time to stop the fight.
Joe Rogan can sometimes say dumb shit but his commentary on the grappling is seriously top-notch
Agreed. His understanding of striking and overall fight strategy is quite poor but the way he describes grappling transitions for the layman is excellent and really adds dimensions to the product, which is the whole point.
Agreed
@@bryangan2224 which is kinda ironic considering joe comes from a striking background first 😂 I guess he fell more in love with bjj as he got older.
@@snandrew6094 he always roll with Eddie Bravo.
@@snandrew6094 exactly lol. I think because he had to learn BJJ as an adult, he is able to understand the nuances better. Not hating on him, I think he's overall fine (except recently when he has had some really poor commentary performances), but his understanding of striking by most analytical standards is actually considered quite poor.
Great fight
Can't believe Herb didn't stop that in the third, I feel like that beating changed him and his career spiraled from there.
Fucking embarrassing . Dude ate 20 elbows then 20 punches without any defense lol
Maybe Herb wanted to avenge the prolonged beating that Mark Munoz took at the hands/elbows of Weidman
i see....Herb Dean's been like that *smh*
Let's be honest...He was overrated and he changed after USADA...
“I wanted Weidman to be a warrior” Herb Yamazaki
Feels weird to remember a time where Rockhold's fights didn't all end with him looking up at the lights from the canvas.
He was always chinny but his defense was better. But the shots he ate from Romero, Bisping and Jan are putting everyone out. Bisping wasn't the hardest punch ever but it was hidden and landed perfectly.
I recently rewatch his fight with Jacare in Strikeforce and I couldn't believe how fast he used to be. He seems so slow and plodding here, but back then he was throwing crazy shit so fast. He threw and damn tornado kick into a 3 punch combo against Jacare. He really is insanely talented, but his ego played a part in his losses and he racked up injuries later into his career
@@riseofazrael Starting to llok like a bodybuilder is not good..
@@riseofazrael idk why everyone is on this ego thing with Rockhold. I was in Vegas when luke won the belt and by chance was in the same nightclub he was celebrating at and dude was ignoring all of the desperate girls and chatting and taking pictures with fans. This was before ufc was big big, dude was nothing but humble.
@@temptemp9475 I think it's just his social awkwardness not translating to public speaking and coming across as arrogant, when it's really Luke just making the effort to promote and sell the fight. You're right though, I have heard he's actually a pretty humble and nice person in real life
What a fight!
During this time period, Luke Rockhold was considered the best Middleweight in the world. Man time flies so fast man
@@rianislam5578 and Izzy gay bender
@@rianislam5578 He would still be really damn good if he knew how to keep his left up to protect his chin. We will have to see how much his boxing has improved since he started working with Bisping’s boxing coach.
@@jeffhabib6673 exactly his kicks, his wrestling, his jiu jitsu are all world class but his boxing defense and chin are just so bad
@@jeffhabib6673 nah, Luke’s strength is his grappling so he should avoid the standup. He couldn’t see the punches (or Belfort’s kick) when he gets timed by quicker strikers. He needs to more effectively mix his wrestling/punches/kicks to alter his opponent’s striking patterns. That’s how elite wrestlers with mediocre standup dominate MMA… by effectively mixing up their attack.
@@ninenine2438 His chin is actually alright. Not great, but perfectly fine. If he had defense like Volkanovski or Petr Yan, his chin would've lasted his entire career with ease. The only times he got put out were by Bisping, a guy who's got a big KO ratio and fractured kickboxing champs' ribs and cheekbones, Romero, a 225lbs roided up monster known for his heavy hands, and Blachowicz, a 215-220lbs monster equally known for his concrete hands.
And none of them put him away in one hit. He wasn't out after the first left hook from any of them. It took at least one more massive hit to stop the fight.
So I actually think his chin is fine. It's how he left it up in the air that made it look so devastating. If he so much as tucked it or rolled those shots, he might have been dazed but he'd have survived them.
Everything he does is good EXCEPT for his fucking head defense. It's such a shame. Even his boxing is good, but he just has one big hole that he seems unable or unwilling to fix.
14:20 witness the turning point of Chris Weidman's MMA career. Proceeds to go 2 Wins - 6 Losses after this moment in history.
Yup, he was mentally broken. Realized he could be the one taking the beating, enough to put real fear in anyone's heart.
Also kind of the turningpoint of Rockholds career.
"If he dies, he dies" - Herb Dean
It was all those blows he took at the end of round 4.
Probably one of the biggest chokes in MMA history, especially in hindsight.
Great fight.
Great Fight!
It's crazy how both of their careers went after this fight
He was too cocky for his own good too relaxed to quickly brace for shots with his chin up and always got caught, he's only fought 4 times since 2015 so I don't think he took the losses very well either
this version of rockhold destroys izzy and costa the same night. Would have trouble with a prime whittaker though.
@@djt8870 and this version of Rockhold was fresh off antibiotics he took for a staph infection, was very drained for this fight
Yeah Luke’s such a bum. Lost to bisping Romero and light heavy weight Jan. U have to be such a bed fighter to lose to those guys
@@djt8870 Luke outcold was never that good. He's average at best, you can't mention him with whitaker and izzy types
This was a great competitive fight until Chris threw that insane wheel kick ,dude was never the same after this.This move literally changed his whole career,thats crazy.
He had a better run than a lot of champions
@@johnny05100 It doesnt change anything to what I say even tho you are right.
yep
@Darren Reddix Glad to hear that friend,also glad that you keep up with my ufc videos comments LOL
@Darren Reddix That's YT commenters for you though. People come down here before even watching a video, most do it instead of listening, JUST to find one person they can argue with. I've seen it all the way down to 1 word, or the context of what is being said. People come straight here, just for the sole purpose of trolling or to play pseudo Intellectual or stand on a pedestal or whatever. You nailed it, because something can be a provable, demonstrably true statement, and there will always be that one guy : "WeLL AcshUALLY"
Congratulations 🎉👏
Herb Dean should have stopped the fight near the end of round 3
One of my favorite fights. I've seen this fight about 20 times. The end of the 1st round. The begging of the 2nd and of course the last 12 seconds of round 3. I love this fight.
Instant Classic
Adjusts mid-fight pretty nicely
I'm upset that these two weren't on top for much longer after this fight. Rockhold got exposed for poor boxing defense and Weidman couldn't handle the next wave of contenders. The division just progressed sort of rapidly past them. I believe Rockhold still has a solid last run in him though if he's made the right adjustments. The guy had all the talent in the world. Weidman should probably call it a career imo, especially if his comeback fight results in another loss. Wish the best for both of them, honestly.
Weidman had a huge fall after Romero KO - he lost his chin after that and also his confidence (as you should if chin is gone). Luke has always had a sus chin, but I agree, if it’s still somewhat intact after Jan KO then he has potential for MW run.
@@MrRandomTwat I always say that not many can eat the shots that Luke did from Bisping, Romero, and Jan and keep on going. I really believe he just needs to tighten his defense up.
Weidman was honestly more unlucky than anything. If you recall, he was winning against Yoel until he got brutally KO'd, he was winning against Jacare until he got brutally KO'd and he was beating Mousasi until Mousasi threw that illegal knee and Weidman made the mistake of trying to milk it for a DQ win.
@@myballsgetlikt1313 was he really beating yoel though?
It surprised me Rockhold decided to use wrestling (even though ultimately it's the wrestling, due to a mistake on Weidman's part, for that stupid back kick, that allowed Rockhold to take him down, by grabbing hold on to Weidman's back, hurting him badly on the mat via G&P)... rather than kicks. Actually, Weidman surprised me initially, when he started kicking at Rockhold, who really has those powerful, fast body/liver and head kicks, and Rockhold just stood there, absorbing those kicks... Only a handful UFC fighters could deliver those smooth, sweeping, exquisite body kicks: Rockhold, Leon, Giga, Barbosa, Yair...
Prime Rockhold was one of the best well rounded martial artist competing. He looked like someone who could defend the belt for years to come.
Yep which was why he was like -800 vs Bisping when he got KOd lol
I fully felt different and time proved my point rockhold had far too many holes to hold the belt for long and sadly he was in the era of the new bloods coming up like whitekar and izzy.
@@erikbritz8095 not really rockhold had very little holes idk wtf u talking about. Rockhold just lost his passion dude was modeling doing a bunch of things and still is fighting was his side thing and he still became champ thats insane. Rockholds biggest problem is dropping hand besides that his striking is really good ground game amazing. Another thing that fucked up rockhold is his leg injury. And if u look at whole rockhold lost to he lost to top tier fighters he didnt lose to no bum
@@slurp3194 What are you talking bout lol you clearly don't know shit about fighting let me point out just a few holes my blind friend 1.)His chin has always been suspect even in this fight you can see his head rattling like a can with pebbles inside from weidmens short shots on the ground, he met some true power punchers after bisping slept him and it exposed how weak his chin is, he never had an elite chin and it cracked early cause of how rough he trained. 2.)His striking defense is horrible and his unbroken habits too example no head movement or minimal at best he drops his hands after every punch hence why ol left hook larry landed and why romero slept him so easy too then also he keeps his hands low at all times and hangs them when he gasses add on top he never steps in correctly with his punches or kicks either and you see him get countered i can go on but these were his exact downfalls his ground work is decent he just failed to use it as well and yeah he was never whitekar, izzy, silva etc. level never all of them are better where he had holes and the sea of knockouts showed this.
Learn defense folks and offense will become easy.
If he remained focused and didn't get so many injuries later in his career he probably would have had the belt for a long time and been remembered as one of the all time greats. He had potential to be the Khabib of the middleweight division.
🔥🔥
Muy mal que no hayan parado la pelea en el tercer round
Mad respect. I watched from start to finish many times and this particular time watching it made me swell with respect for these guys. Thanks for a memorable fight.
this fight became even more memorable because of how horrible the stoppage was. he pummeled Chris Weidman without any answer for 2mins and Herb Dean didn't even thought of stopping it. champions always have privileges, but a simple common sense will make anyone stop that fight except Herb.
Rockhold was badly injured coming into this fight and still did this to Weidman. He was a beast in his prime
JAN?
Or weidman was just average
@@change4better326 Crushed a roided up Silva twice. Made it look easier the second time. Weidman wasn't average at all.
@@change4better326 Take a look at his legendary run and who he defended his title against before his first pro loss. Yes, this is his first pro loss.
@@change4better326 yo Weidman is HOF
amazing fight from the pure fighter, non freak show part of the UFC. true artists.
All the BEST!
Respetos Luke en tu tiempo fuiste una bestia 💯💪🏽🇲🇽
Herb Dean should've been banned for this absolutely horrific performance.
I remember screaming at my TV for Herb to stop the fight.
this is by far the worst herb dean ever did as a ref
@@KrikZ32 herb gets the “gold standard” reputation but dude is constantly slipping. He is awful.
A whole minute of ground and pound with Rockhold in full mount. Even Rogan is like "oh my god! Herb Dean's gonna stop this one." And then 30 more seconds go by. I understand they usually give a champion some extra time because you don't want to strip a title if they can turn it around. But you're just hurting their long term career/life by letting them get punished without defending
he blocked a solid 70 percent of them and is the champion of the division if he stopped the fight he would have gotten back lash , Weidman was doing well before this event happened
This was an awesome fight
Good job 😃
The Legendary Wheel Kick from Weidman...
How to lose a UFC belt with one simple trick
I know right, what a numb nut, he had it!!
@@themagician1917 ''he had it!!''??? He was 5 against 28 significant strikes the round before, and 5 against 12 and counting the round he threw that kick. He was losing the entire fight. The only round he arguably won was the first due to nut hugging, but he nearly got subbed twice in that round too and didn't deal any damage.
The night that Luke conceived, believed and achieved
A real nice fight !
Beasts....
This Era of middleweight was the peak, gsp,luke,chris,yoel,rob,jacare,Gastleum,Moussasi ping, machida, etc it was so stacked. Its crazy how the gatekeeper of the previous era is now top 4 in Derrick Brunson😂
MMA MATH
@@BigSoldiermx Not mma math at all, i didn't talk about specific matchups. Just how good Middleweight was.
Its so shit now. Crazy that rob is still at the top though. Honestly bisping and gsp fucked up that whole division
So true .
Now middle weight is a second worst division..no specialist in grappling and most fighters lack iq
GSP?
(welterweight) Had 1 middleweight fight against Bisping.
And I think Gastelum was still fighting at welterweight during this time ans hadn't been made to move ul becuase of weight issues yet.
Back when middleweight title fights were exciting
I miss these times
🔥🔥🔥
The best fighters.
I remember I was really excited for this fight. It was insane, at the time Chris was the undefeated champ having defended the title twice. Luke was the last Strikeforce middleweight champion and lost in his UFC debut but came back and earned the #1 contender status. Both had decent striking with a great ground game. Nearly identical in the stats with their height and reach. It was East Coast vs West Coast. This was one of those rare fights that looked great on paper and delivered.
How is Luke decent on the feet when he is one of the most talented kickers?
@@saidabougelzim8621 his kicks are amazing, no one is denying that.. but striking also involves hands which he isn’t that good at.
@@HbVki His boxing is fine until it comes to his defense, lmao!
Chris had defended It 3 times actually. Machida, Anderson rematch, and Vitor
@@TheStraightestWhitest his boxing was also mediocre.
A prime Luke Rockhold is seriously one of the best to ever do it. He was such a threat everywhere the fight went.
Exactly... The newer fans wouldn't know
Amazing how bisping ended his career
@@stayclashy3433 you guys serious? Luke is being demolished right now not because he is out of his prime, it's because the competition is getting better.
@@InsiJuice Rockhold is almost 40. He is surely out of his prime.
@@stefanwolf8558 Luke is just 37. Yoel is 45 , Jan Blachowicz is 39, Bisping is 43, Belfort is 45.
Everyone who have beaten him is older than him, I'm pretty sure it's not the age 😂
Díaz LOVE 🇪🇦💪🇺🇲🇺🇦🏴☠️
Believe it achieve it.
The way that DC instantly LIFTS Luke right off the ground after his victory is insane 😂
Tank
Good spotting. That looks like it shouldn't be possible
That's what I was thinking like DC's strength is insane lol
Khabib who’s 1 of the strongest at AKA said he never was able to submit cormier bcuz he’s just so unbelievably strong
As someone who only started following the sport from 2018-2019, this is really cool to see. From the clips I see of Rockhold it's always him getting chinned and beaten badly. But getting this upload where it actually shows how good of a fighter he is is neat.
Rockhold was a beast until Bisping took a part of his chin and he was never the same.
he was really good only issue is his chin now
He was really good. At one point I even thought he would've lasted longer as champion considering his skill set. Boxing, kick boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, you name it he has it all. He had the GOAT skill set. He just didn't live up to the expectations. Well at least we was champion in strikeforce and UFC lol.
Rockhold's biggest problem is his ego. He has always been arrogant and simply thought he was so much better than the competition. But after winning the title, he threw caution to the wind and got humbled time after time. The guy stopped playing to his strengths and tried going for highlight reel boxing KOs and paid the price.
Remember streaming this what a time
2 of the best mw in the planet.. man mw was so fun back then
Rockhold was on an extensive antibiotic regimen leading up to this fight. Crazy how powerful that guy was in his prime.
Nice to see Luke so emotional afterwards, he normally seems quite reserved. Must have been a great team to be part of at that time, seems like a family.
javier mendez GOAT coach
under his training and support of Khabib team, strength and strikes improved very fast. Just go success and to be become Cham with Khabib team.
Love Khabib team
I love DC. What an awesome man.
Weidman can take a beating. What a great fight. Also, DC picking up rockhold from a flat prone position like he weighed 10lbs was crazy
Well, he did flip Gus and even 260 lbs Josh Barnett through the air like they were nothing. DC is strong af.
Don't forget that he ragdolled dan hendo.
Weidman can definitely take a beating and once upon a time that really meant something. This day and age not so much with CTE knowledge and everything else that goes with being struck in the head. He shouldn't definitely call it a career
@@clytnjms yeah. Too bad cte is a thing. I feel bad when someone gets knocked out now
Luke was so good man, he gets disrespected so much these days😢
Prime Rockhold had 🐐 potential
Luke Out Cold
He brought it on himself for being so cocky, at his core though he does seem like a good dude
@@TanWam he’s a fighter let him be cocky beta
Lol idgi how was this his prime Bisping took him out with one eye 😂
🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
👍👍👍
DC literally just lifted him off the mat like it was nothing 😮
Both are amazing fighters, BOTH Champions… but people put them down so much now (22’) cause of their recent losses. It’s sad to see that. The two of these guys gave a lot to the sport.
Amazing fight. Legends!
The commentary, I feel, was very good.
Luke is top 5 all time in ground and pound. His top control is insane, not to mention his submissions.
Cain is also top 5
Agree, to be able to do that to weidman was very impressive to say the least
Really can't remember many of his fights finishing people with ground and pound
I remember they were hyping this fight like it was the MMA version of Bird versus Magic. Everyone just expected them to fight 3 times and have a classic in each one. Damn shame what happened to them.
That wheel kick is how I kick in my dreams
Extremely high level fight. Amazing.
DC picked Luke like a child when he was on the floor after the fight 😀 😃
I Remember seeing this fight live & thinking to myself that rockhold would reign for a good while as champ. DAMN WAS I WRONG
FUVK NO
Believe it or not, during a short period of time, Luke was considered the best middleweight in the world.
This Luke was just off a staph infection and still looked untouchable. Everyone thought he'd become the GOAT of 185 after this fight. Fight world is nuts.
@@KameronDAaron he WAS the best MW in the world
What for a fight 😱😱😱🙈
AND THIS IS STILL MY BOY!!!!
That was one hell of a performance by Luke totally deserves the belt it's a shame he's retired now
Last time we saw these two fight at their peak was this ,does omeone remember how dominant Rockhold was against Machida ,Machida was beaten so bad he literally gave up
"Knee!"
what was the score cards at the end ?
Luke training with khabib and DC and chris actually thought he was gonna just climb on Luke’s back.
He doesn’t show it, unfortunately, but even DC and Josh Thompson say Luke’s ground game is straight up top tier.
People like to hate.. but if he cleans up a little stand up and focuses on taking people down, with a win or two in a row.. and he’s a problem for Izzy. Period.
Prime Chris and Luke, both dominate Izzy
@@user-gt5vl4qh3q I mean Jan’s wrestling is worse than some high school kids I’ve seen and he manhandled Izzy.
Luke actually knows how to shoot, and scramble into position.
He just needs to get a quality win.
@@user-gt5vl4qh3q I would have loved to see a prime weidman vs Izzy
Everybody knows Luke’s Jiu Jitsu is top tier lmao. He’s a Jiu Jitsu world champ. His takedowns aren’t good, that’s what he has always lacked. He relies on bodylocks but his double leg and single leg are tragic
@@noelnoni7310 all he’s gotta do is clench Izzy.
Crazy to think that both of these guys seemed practically invincible at some point. I felt like Rockhold had the tools to stay champ a while if only he worked on his head movement
Well idk. Rockhold is a 1x Champ a Weidman 4x
@@thegreg9800 he said they seemed in invincible. Not really. Weidman did. He was like 13-0 I believe and 4-0 in title fights and also beat a legends to even get to the first title fight. Rockhold did seem invincible in strike force but in the UFC he had a loss just a few fights before this. He was not invincible. As amazing and talented as he was, he never quite had the run Weidman did. He had no business losing to Bisping. And although Luke was kicking the crap out of Weidman here, had Chris not attempted spinning wheel kick, he wins this fight all day on his way to a decision.
I was just clarifying that he didn’t have the UFC career that Weidman did. Hope that helps you comprehend.
@@thegreg9800 gotcha 👍
I love Luke yo
Brother I miss you I hug you
20:33 DC almost slept Rockhold with that slap
What truly made Weidman lose this was he kept doing spinning kicks and Rockhold just wrestled him and got mount multiple times, and that's what led to his loss.
Yeah no shit Sherlock
i like rockhold prime✨ thats incredible
The end of the third was herb deans Mario yamasaki moment lol
This performance by Luke was super underrated (I guess not so many people actually watched this fight).
This performance was flawless, one of the best championship performances in the history.
wow I remember the anticipation I had for this fight, time really does fly
This reminds me of cody garbrants spiral
