Its a trip seeing them so young, and its high quality lol

[@blackbird4470]

Lmao, True, Relatable.....🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Tokey_The_Bear]

Kennedy went 5 rounds with PRIME Rockhold. Let that sink in. He was a serious dude back then. He also beat Lawler, Manhoef, and Bisping all in their primes. And Strikeforce's camera angles were so much better than current UFC. Much more "in" the fight than "watching" it.

[@bigassdummy46]

you forgot that he technically beat romero too

[@Tokey_The_Bear]

@@bigassdummy46 Oh man I forgot about that one. He beat his as so badly he needed to scam an extra minute to get off the stool.

[@rockzen8050]

why you think the dude who made the comments name is what you both are lmao BAD's@@Tokey_The_Bear

[@karlmartin849]

He also schooled Roger Gracie who is the one of the goat in BJJ.

[@BPierce777]

You say that as though it's a surprise. Have you followed Kennedy's career? It's no surprise at all.

[@hassanrao3576]

Rockhold in his prime was a monster. All time great middleweight

[@megacatsupreme466]

His kicks are lethal

[@user-yw4jb8lu5f]

Rockhold lost the fight along with most of the decisions he was gifted

[@terrybarnes7932]

Luke during his prime was top 5 middleweight of all time. He had all the tools

[@anthonysouthard5572]

Top 2

Luke is a bum in and out of the ring!

Strikeforce was the shit

Who else misses the strikeforce days?!

[@Ajox191]

Strikeforce was better than the UFC

[@jimmyv1753]

Those were the best days for mma. Strikeforce was great my favorite was WEC. It was on the verses channel and had all tons of talent

[@NoForGayJesus]

Prime nick diaz, obese cormier, ubereem, and masvidal when he was at his slickest. Strikeforce is underrated for sure

[@City0fTroy]

Two of my favorite figthers ever in their primes

[@mattaconda77]

Using Kimura to create scrambles is underrated

[@masonrobins882]

Just don’t get slammed like rose

[@pninnan]

I know it’s crazy to say this because he was literally UFC champ, but rockhold didn’t live up to his potential. Truly phenomenal athlete

[@daveleeuelman5084]

Tim Kennedy is a HERO

[@kingconcerto5860]

Extremely underrated fighter and person

[@ricardobjj24]

Luke Rockhold is a legend

[@Mauvaiseodeur]

He is definitly one of the greatest mw in mma History. Former Strikeforce champion and former UFC Champion.

[@danbaker7640]

It's a shame that he went from ufc champion to parkinsons world champ in a matter of like 3 years.

People forgot how he demolished Bisping in Australia. One handed guillotine!

[@captainhayes]

after listening to Kennedys book all these fights are so much more epic! Also, Mauro is off his game for commentary on this one.

[@stampiboy1]

Thev've added 3 videos of Ronda , Alistair and Rockhold exactly from the same time there added 3 alter egos to ufc5 now great timing I love it👍❤

[@kollegewhite8669]

almost as if it's on purpose

[@SoreEyeMusic]

It's a good move, the ad for the alter egos is also at the end of the video

For sure, I enjoyed it better too!!!!

Who gives a fuck!!!

[@kingconcerto5860]

As they should be

[@Last_Chance.]

This was lukes prime

[@DJC-10]

Think he was a better fighter on his way to the UFC belt though imo. His run beating Phillipou Boetch Bisping Machida then Weidman was insane.

[@alexh7064]

No. This was an unrefined Rockhold. Both fighters were.

[@Brather972.0]

Luke’s mother is a you know the acronym. Milk is a close enough word

[@JD-xm3mg]

Bro was a literal killer

[@LilongThongru-sr7hu]

Crazy fight

[@ryanjansen8785]

And I thought Tim was dealing with some type of physical impairment or some issue in this bout... but he continuosly hung in there and even proceeded to progress. Up against a considerable oppressive offense from his opponent too Tim was..

[@dma917]

damn great fight

[@slaktheking69]

Damn Tim was a monster when he was in his prime got robbed from beating Romero as well

[@johngotti3487]

Wrong, ya do the “stool gate” bs but fail to admit that Tim GRABBED THE INSIDE OF YOELS GLOVE to get his 4-piece off before the bell… cheating is cheating & they both did so nobody was “robbed”

[@jamestyler9050]

He grabbed was holding Yoel’s glove when he landed those big shots. He cheated first… kind of fair.

Big John's "let's eughhhh geet it ohwnnnnnnnna" is the single cringiest thing in the history of combat sports. And that includes Steve Segall.

[@acidrage5206]

this is a proper matt. not like the cnvas that rips you open in the ufc everyone always has burn marks on them but this matt looks like a gym matt soft with a little give

[@LodgicalThoughts]

Now that I think about it they probably make the canvas like that to discourage grappling?

Tim Kennedy is an American hero who put his life on the line for his countryman and his country. Anytime he was called and he was a bad ass fighter. Luke Rockhold is a glass jawed, ego maniac, who model clothes for a living come on man they are not the same.

[@matthewrenko7586]

I like Kennedy a lot as a person but this fight was so boring. I would love to see what he could do if they would admit no rules and maybe put 1 knife in the middle of the ring for whomever gets to it first. 2 men enter... 1 man leaves. I'll bet it'd be Tim
