If you’re team AKA, you’re not pleased with Saturday’s UFC 221 main event. And if you’re team AKA’s team captain, you’re even more devastated.
UFC light-heavyweight world champion Daniel Cormier is the AKA team captain, and as hyped as he was, prior to tonight’s UFC 221 event, for his teammate Luke Rockhold to win his second world title, he was equally devastated at the bout’s conclusion.
Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero fought in the UFC 221 main event. Romero missed weight prior to the bout, but Rockhold would have captured the UFC interim world title with a win.
Instead of celebrating his second title reign, Luke Rockhold was devastatingly knocked out in the third round of his title fight.
Rockhold started out very strong, controlling Yoel Romero for the majority of the bout.
But Romero remained patient, and eventually exploded all over Luke, found the button and turned off the lights.
Short on words, D.C. reaction is as follows:
“FML”
FML!
