Luke Rockhold's Elite Grappling Displayed In Two Gifs Agaisnt Weidman and Boetsch

[Gabe]

Fucking beautiful. Enjoy. Weidman has some of the best single legs ever and Luke easily reversed it.

 

[chitoortiz]

One of the best grapplers out there.

Very underrated.

Would have liked to see that Whitaker matchup.

 

[That209]

The rest of Sherdog want to see his elite di**

 

[Rygu]

K1 level grappling for sure.

 

[Dozer .]

What about his elite striking defense and chin?

 

[frandie2b]

Yeah Rockhold is a stud on the ground.

The best grappler at MW with Jacare and Moose.

 

[ToroSalvaje]

 

[Threetrees]

If he'd just dive for takedowns or the clinch every fight he'd be nigh unstoppable

who told that man he could strike

 

[tinker_190]

Yeah Rockhold is a stud on the ground.

The best grappler at MW with Jacare and Moose.

Romero would like a word

 

[Brit_Brawler]

He’s a smooth operator. If he some how can get gus on the floor ( big if) then gus may be fucked

 

[Noctilux]

Too bad his chin isn't elite.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

As much as I think he is a cocky rich kid.....he’s elite as fuck and you can’t deny that. Luke as a LHW will be very interesting.

 

[DespicablePeep]

Great fighter all around with average striking defense and terrible chin. Recipe for entertaining fights, either he gets koed or kos/subs.

[beephin]

Yeah, I couldn’t believe he handled Weidman on the ground like that.

I loved when Rockhold said, “I own the ground”

That was badass actually. The dude is ELITE with his grappling.

 

[Workaholic]

It's a shame his takedowns aren't that great because he is magic when it gets to the ground. He just struggles to take it there on his own terms

 

[Kertol]

More accurate to say average chin but terrible striking defense

 

[MMA_AZ]

Worked on his grappling skills so much he forgot how to speak like a non-douche bag. Best tool for that tool is his grappling for sure

 

[ArtemV]

Nice butterfly/knee shield kind of sweep vs Weidman. Was surprised that Weidman didn't know how to stop it.
