Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold got knocked out cold in Saturday’s UFC 221 main event against Yoel Romero.
The result of the fight stunned many onlookers, who believed that Luke would be too much for the 40 year old olympic medalist.
After two highly contested rounds to open up the bout, Romero would find his mark in round 3 and drop the former champion with a solid left hand, and then followed up that punch with a shot on the ground that would put Luke to sleep.
After the fight, Romero went viral for kissing Luke, and now the UFC has released mic’d up footage showing the exchange, and exactly what Yoel told his opponent.
