Wow! What a start for David Branch. Lands about 4 or 5 in a 7 or 8 punch combo. Said he'd showcase boxing and that was nice. #UFCPittsburgh

Branch bringing the fire! #UFCPittsburgh

Luke Rockhold, are you going to mess around and get knocked out by David Branch?

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) September 17, 2017

Attaching that chin

10-9 Branch. Pressure is key for him. Rockhold doesn't like it. But keeping up this pace seems unlikely over 25 min.

Branch won that round but think he's gassing. If he doesn't finish early this round think Rockhold finishes in the third

Branch is on a mission #ufcpittburgh

Rockhold refuses to hold hands high. Defensive mistakes have not been resolved. #UFCPittsburgh

Rockhold mounting you is bad, bad news. #UFCPittsburgh

Rockhold gets it under control on the mat and gets the finish via GNP tap. Nice comeback from the former champ. #UFCPittsburgh
