The expectation heading into UFC on Fox 15’s main event between Luke Rockhold and Lyoto Machida was that it would be a tight, ultra-competitive affair. Both men appeared, at least on paper, to be evenly matched. Not so much, as it turns out. The Brazilian started the fight promisingly enough, connecting with several bravado-inducing shots […]
