On a night full of finishes, Luke Rockhold turned in the 10th submission victory of his professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career.
Last night (Sept. 16), UFC Fight Night 116 took place inside the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the main event, Rockhold took on David Branch. After a solid opening round from Branch, Rockhold took control with his wrestling and ground game. He forced a submission due to strikes in the second round.
The co-main event was as violent and as quick as many expected. Mike Perry made short work of Alex Reyes with a devastating knee strike.
