UFC Targeting Luke Rochhold vs David Branch for Pittsburgh Sep 16 Main Event or Yoel at a Later Date

[ScholarDayo]

The amount of people sleeping on Dave Branch

 

[VinceArch]

Would have much preferred Luke vs Gegard but at least we know Luke has a fight finally set. Should be a good one.

I actually love that fight. Branch might not be known to alot of people but he was a two-division champ in Strikeforce and just beat Jotko who I thought would slaughter Branch. Good comeback fight for Luke and an even better fight for Branch to prove he belongs in the top 5.

 

[TRTVitor]

Dafuq?

You're seriously going to put the #3 and #9 ranked middleweights up against each other?

Kinda reminds me when they put Jacare vs Boetsch... that was a WTF fight

 

[Guile]

So because WME were too cheap to resign Mousasi, they end up with Rockhold vs Branch

LOL

do you even know who Branch is?

 

[Mixed]

Rockhold is still the best MW in the world imo. I do feel Romero is a dangerous matchup for him.

 

[Evangelion]

do you even know who Branch is?

Or that Moose said he chose Bellator because of the ability to fight in other orgs not because they offered more money

 

[L.T.]

Branch just had one of the most boring fights of the year. This doesn't make sense.

He clinched and held Jotko against the cage the ENTIRE fight. He doesn't deserve Rockhold. Comeback fight whatever. Rockhold sub or TKO inside 2.

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

as opposed to... ?

As opposed to...I dunno uhhhhhhhh.....uhhhhhhh.....uhhhhh Romero, uhhhhhh Jacare, uhhhhhhh Andeeerrrson uhh Silva, maybe....

But what do I know..

 

[knowsitall]

Had to google David.

 

[Danespina]

Along with other fights announced it would make the Pittsburgh card pretty decent.

 

[Treeloy]

Rocklhold vs Yoel plz.

 

[Danespina]

Had to google David.

I guess everybody's gotta learn sometime.

 

[BsBan_Account#2]

I like branch but rockhold is a horrible matchup for him and probably finishes him .

 

[Venom]

Rockhold is tooooooooooooo gooood

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Lol at Rockhold

 

[kimocomplex]

Good fight, someone do a pic of Luke with his SF/UFC belts and Dave with his 2 WSOF belts

 

[torturescorcher]

Rockhold against WWWHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! David Branch!!!!!!! What the??? They just lost Mousasi because of their bullshit. They could have had Rockhold vs Whittaker or Rockhold vs Mousasi or Whittaker vs Mousasi and we have this low down side winding load of crap of a match up. Is Branch even in the top 10????

 

[torturescorcher]

At least give us Rockhold vs Anderson Silva. That would be a great fight. The UFC has lost the plot completely.
