When Luke was being asked what was he really looking forward to in his next fight…he said “To make it out of the 1st round…just kidding”. Luke Rockhold is whitehot right now, definitely “one to watch” as he hands himself another victory in the 1st round of Strike Force Challenger Series held at the San Jose Civic Center. Even before the night started, all eyes were on Luke, and there was quite a few of the boys from Santa Cruz in the crowd. Fight starts, Luke is immediately throwing head kicks and striking…Paul Bradley never knew what hit him. Luke landed the 1st of multiple devastating blows to send Paul Bradley reeling backwards and into the cage, like a lion to its prey, Luke would pounce and ground and pound. Finally 2/3 of the way into round one, Luke once again throwing kick after kick, strikes Bradley and finally drops him only to finish him off. Rockhold takes off on a victory lap around the ring and throws a lipper on the octagon as realizes his accomplishment. The video speaks for itself, watch and enjoy.

Here are a couple of stories from last night:
