Hector did literally nothing. He landed nothing. He hurt Rockhold never.
Little can be said about round 1. All Rockhold, and only about 20 seconds away from finishing that fight. Round 2, more of the same, Luke finishes this bad boy on up. Fights like this really give me nothing to say. Lombard's team needs to put ice cubes in his bed or something to get that guy going or something. He was not awake for this one, and that frustrates me.
