Rockhold’s chin not that bad

[rjmbrd]

Branch isn't a hitter, he's a grappler

Nobody thinks that Bisping is a hitter either, he's a volume puncher, but he laid out Rockhold because he offered up his chin. Rockhold appears to have a fairly standard ability to take a shot, but his problem is striking defense.

If Luke kept his hands up and his ego down there really isn't any problem compared to his peers.

If Luke fights Romero without some strict consideration for blocking strikes and getting his head off the line, boiiiiiiiiii he's getting that interim belt.

I agree, Rockhold seems to get away with the win everytime he doesn’t get cocky
