How will Rockhold do Saturday night?

I think Branch is more of a threat than the odds imply. Rockhold has a very high capacity, but after the Bisping fight it is obvious there are some consistency (or complacency or ego) problems to work out.

Branch is going to start strong with the boxing .

How are his hands?

Branch has pretty good hands, much better than Rockholds…I recently saw a sparring clip where a lot was getting the better of Rockhold and Luke was going hard!

Wait, they used to train together?

Rockholds hands are meh. Which is a shame. If he could really tighten them up, nobody would be able to fuck with him standing.

No, I posted a vid a few minutes ago of Rockhold sparring at the Combat Club…he was going against a ltwt and was not winning…

Exactly, Luke’s hands honestly are weak…he was training at Mayweathers so hopefully his hands have improved but I doubt it…

Good hands in mma seems like speed or power, almost genetic…you either have it or you don’t

Dude Luke is athletic as fuck, explosive and powerful too. It’s not that he’s struggling with, it’s his ability to feel out his opponents with his hands and set up meaningful combinations.

Hes mostly a 1-2 puncher, maybe followed up with a tight right hook. that's it. If he could add more to his game, he'd be fucking unstoppable. Literally, the sky is the limit for him.

I think a lot of fighters who need to snap there punches, push and a lot of fighter who need to push snap.

RRL is one example of a fighter who doesn’t really snap his punches like a boxer would but it generates more power for him

Luke doesn't snap his punches at all and pushes into them; so i hoping to see a him snap and pull his hands back to a defend

Luke doesn’t have some granite chin

Branch makes me afraid to bet those odds on rockhold

lukes chin is always suspect

We’ll see

Bisping has destroyed Luke's confidence. I expect him to be hesitant, tentative and nervous. 

He'll make a ridiculous error leading to Branch smashing the fuck out of him in a savage TKO.

If rockhold doesn't mind his P's and Q's branch can crack and surprise him.  Remember branch after the UFC went to a decision with RUMBLE Johnson in WSOF.  Branch is a tough dude.  I like both fighters but I will be rooting for branch
