WOW! HUGE KO from Jan Blachowicz. Knockouts don’t get much nastier than that. And then he stretched out his arms, then pointed to his feet, which Rockhold mocked for being small at Media Day. #UFC239

All week, Luke Rockhold has been incredibly confident and it was hard not to think of the attitude he had ahead of the Bisping fight. And here we are another left hook later.

Did not have a great feeling about Rockhold going up to 205 after those nasty knockouts he suffered at 185.
