Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-09-16, pretty good fight between Luke Rockhold and David Branch: it gets three stars.The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, former Strikeforce and Ufc Mw champion Luke Rockhold entered this fight with a professional mma record of 15-3-0 (87% finishing rate) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since June 4, 2016 when he was defeated by current #1 Michael Bisping in their rematch (=Rockhold vs Bisping 2). In their first bout Rockhold had defeated Bisping in two rounds (November 8, 2014 Rockhold vs Bisping), after this fight he had also won over Lyoto Machida (=Machida vs Rockhold) and Chris Weidman in 2015 (Weidman vs Rockhold).
