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.”

In a fight that will go down as one of the most intense bouts in a long time. Luke Rockhold from Santa Cruz California defeated Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza after 5 rounds of body strikes, quick jabs and leg kicks to become the new Strikeforce Middleweight Champion. SC Family member Sam Diggedy of The Morning Madhouse and DK hung out downtown Motiv and watched with half of Santa Cruz as the fight started and the room erupted in hoots and screams.

Rockhold had a warm up round then got his groove and began to pick apart Jacare. 5 rounds of Jacare backing up and blocking what seemed to be 100 kicks from Rockhold, he also failed to take the fight to the ground. After a unanimous decision an emotional Rockhold stated “Thank you to my  family and my sponsors, I couldn’t have done it without them.” he continued “I train with the best fighters in the best camp, thank you to my corner for everything.”

SC Family Luke Rockhold fights September 10th

Six straight wins have earned American Kickboxing Academy middleweight Luke Rockhold a title shot against Strikeforce champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza on September 10.

The date for the fight was confirmed toMMAWeekly.com by sources close to the match-up on Sunday. Rockhold also announced the fight via hisTwitter account.

“I feel healthy, I feel ready, and I feel I have all the tools to take his belt. It’s on,” Rockhold wrote.

Rockhold and Souza were rumored to meet on the July 30 fight card featuring Fedor Emelianenko vs. Dan Henderson, but the bout will now shift to later date.

MMAWeekly.com first reported the Sept. 10 Strikeforce fight card with the announcement of the Josh Thomson vs. Maximo Blanco fight that will also take place on the show.

Rockhold (7-1) will fight for the title after spending more than a year off from the sport dealing with several injuries. Prior to being on the sidelines, Rockhold had won his last six fights in a row, all by first-round stoppage.

Ronald “Jacare” Souza (14-2) returns to action for the first time since defeating Robbie Lawler to defend his title in January. Souza will look to make his second successful title defense when he squares off against Rockhold in September.

While the fight card has been slated for Sept. 10, no venue or location has been announced or secured by Strikeforce officials at this time. More information and fights for the card are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
