LAS VEGAS – Luke Rockhold’s first title defense proved a rather quick and efficient one.
The Strikeforce middleweight champion used a late-first-round onslaught to batter UFC vet Keith Jardine – a former light heavyweight making his middleweight debut – and claim a TKO victory.
The title fight headlined “Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine” and aired on Showtime. It took place at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
