The round started slow with both fighters feeling each other out.
Luke Rockhold was patient, waiting for Costa Philippou to jump in with punches as he is wont to do. He did, too, within the first minute, and the former Strikeforce champion capitalized on it with a big shot.
Then, another big shot. Then, a body kick that put Costa on the mat and blam.
That was that.
