Review: 2014-04-26, pretty good finish between Luke Rockhold and Tim Boetsch but it is not enough to get three stars. The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Luke Rockhold entered this fight with a record of 11-2-0 (82% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.6 middleweight in the world, he is the former Strikeforce Mw champion but last year, at his Ufc debut, he lost to Vitor Belfort (4 stars-fight Belfort vs Rockhold), he came back to victory in 2014 defeating Costas Philippou (=Rockhold vs Philippou).
His opponent, Tim Boetsch, has a record of 17-6-0 (71% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.17 in the same weight class, he fought twice in 2013 losing the first bout against Mark Munoz (=Munoz vs Boetsch) but then he defeated CB Dollaway; currently the #1 in this division is Chris Weidman. Rockhold vs Boetsch is on the undercard of Jon Jones vs Glover Teixeira – UFC 172. Watch the video and rate this fight!
