Luke Rockhold Taps Tim Boetsch Out with Ease at UFC 172

Man, tonight has been a night where there are some quick finishes at UFC 172, with Luke Rockhold making it official with some high-level grappling on display. Tim Boetsch went for a takedown, only for Luke Rockhold to lock in a reverse triangle, spinning Boetsch onto his back. Rockhold then went for the kimura, which Boetsch tried to fight off, but it was only a matter of time before Rockhold was able to lock it in and Boetsch was forced to tap out.

Luke Rockhold then called out Vitor Belfort and Michael Bisping post-fight and we are all pretty stoked about that.
