In the co-main event of UFC 194<\/a> Luke Rockhold put on an incredible performance as he dominated then-UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman over the course of 4 rounds.<\/p>\n

While the fight arguably could have been stopped at the end of the 3rd round when Rockhold was pouring on the ground and pound, referee Herb Dean allowed the fight to continue, and Weidman survived until the 4th.<\/p>\n

In the 4th round Weidman threw a wheel kick that Rockhold used to take the champ down, and ultimately get the TKO win.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ahead of the rematch, the pair have continued their trash talk, which has lead former champ Chris Weidman to push himself to an entirely new level. He took to Twitter to update fans on his training camp ahead of his UFC 199 rematch<\/a> with Rockhold on June 4th.<\/p>\n
