1/7/2012 10:00PST UPDATE: Luke Rockhold knocks Keith Jardine out 4:26 into round #1. Come on bro…who’s next? Tim Kennedy? Jacare rematch? Luke needs to be called the StrikeForce Street Sweeper. BOOM!
Yahoo Sports:
Rockhold took care of business easily, waiting out the wild style of Jardine to land a huge right and followed it up with 17 more unanswered shots to force the referee to stop the fight at 4:26 of the first round.
The champ was happy to win, but had little interest in calling out Strikeforce’s No. 1 contender Tim Kennedy. Minutes after the victory, Showtime’s Mauro Ranallo asked about Rockhold defending his title against the Strikeforce roster.
“I like fighting and I like getting paid,” Rockhold said then hesitated. “Right now, all the best guys in the world at middleweight are in the UFC. Those are the guys I want. I want to fight the best in the world. I think they should bring over some top contenders. I believe I am one of top guys and I want to take on the best.”
