Barnett vs Kharitonov

Josh threw away his UFC gold by relying on PEDS to beat Couture, he redeemed his career by going over to Pride and pitting himself against the best, although he came up short.

Here though he dominated Sergey choking him out inside a round and now he's a big favourite against Cormier in the final.

Jardine was last seen in a close fight with Mousasi and he's earnt himself a title shot against Rockhold but Luke really shines here as he lands big shots including a huge right towards the end of the first which leads to a vicious follow up attack before the fight is ended.

 

Tate vs Rousey.

Miesha is the defending champion but Ronda quickly takes her down locking in an arm bar but Tate gets out of it before Rousey hip tosses her to gain mount and fully lock in am arm bar that no one could escape from.

 

Cormier vs Barnett

Cormier completely dominates Josh here as he out strikes him even landing big head kicks, but the craziest thing in this fight was watching Cormier slam Barnett.

It's just weird watching Daniel dominate these huge fighters but that's what he's done.

 

Melendez vs Thompson

Gilbert edges out this war to retain his place at the top of the strike force division.

Time and time again he fights World class opposition and comes out on top.

 

Marquardt knocks out Woodley with a vicious elbow to end his unbeaten start to MMA.

Rockhold just about beats Kennedy in a close hard fought title fight and it really is about time he pits his skills in the UFC.

 

Rousey Kaufman

Ronda again gets an early victory via the armbar and calls out Cyborg

 

Jacare vs Brunson

Souza knocks Brunson out as he chases the rematch with Rockhold

 

And that's pretty much the end of strike force as the big names all come over to UFC as it's place at the top of the MMA world is now beyond question.

 

He did go on a tear, I agree there with you I just don't see him beating those guys I listed.

Either way he's definitely a great fighter, that can't be doubted.

 

Rockhold might have been champion a lot sooner had he not ran into Belfort.

 

Belfort vs Rumble.

Rumble is clearly a great fighter, we know that now, but at this point he's too busy trying to cut weight hoping to get a physical edge on his opponents and against Belfort he pays the price as Vitor quickly takes his back and secures the choke.
