Two reason's
Rockhold's head is on a stack of dimes.
Rockhold arrogantly drops his hands often.
"Stack of dimes" made me laugh. Well done sir.
And yeah, Luke has skills but poor striking defense combined with a suspect (at best) chin is a bad combo. Luke also has a tendency to move backward in a straight line, which is a recipe for eating punches.
I think people kind of forgot that early in the Branch fight Luke was in real trouble and getting lit up pretty good too. His comeback stoppage win in that fight may have skewed the way people remember that fight in its totality.
