Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos The good thing about being on a fight card headlined by Conor McGregor is that you know people will watch. The bad thing, as new UFC middleweight champ Luke Rockhold may have learned, is that they may think of your great success as little more than a footnote. It took Rockhold (15-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) just under four full rounds to wrest the UFC middleweight title from the previously unbeaten Chris Weidman (13-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 194 pay-per-view co-headliner at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. It took McGregor only 13 second to make us mostly forget about it. That’s not to say we won’t remember, once we snap back to reality. And once we do remember, chances are it’ll all coming flooding back to us as we recall how thoroughly Rockhold dismantled the champ, how brutally he beat him down to cement his position as the best 185-pounder in the world.
