Strikeforce was live from Las Vegas on Saturday night as UFC veteran Keith Jardine dropped to 185 pounds to challenge new Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold.
Rockhold looked like a champion in his first defense of the title, picking apart the older Jardine with some nice body shots before catching him with a staggering jab to the mouth.
Moments later, the fight was over as Rockhold wasted no time smashing Jardine with numerous brutal punches until referee Herb Dean finally pulled him off.
The champion was obviously one of the big winners from Saturday, but he wasn’t the only one whose stock rose or dropped significantly on Jan. 7.
Let’s take a look at the real winners and losers from Saturday night’s fights.
