The funny thing is either of them got the official result as taps to strikes. Most people don't even realize that GSP tapped.

Prediction: correct Rockhold   correct Submission   correct Round 2  

Rockhold is an offensive powerhouse and a super athlete. He's also got some of the worst striking defense I've ever seen, I've been saying it for years, when his striking strategy against Kennedy and Jacare consisted of running backward with his hands down, and if he doesn't figure it out quick Whittaker is going to sleep him inside 3 minutes.

@skelliher As far as powerhouse/great athlete with bad striking defense it reminds me of Cat Zingano except her striking defense is just on another level of bad,hers is just atrocious.She's usually running straight into punches though.

It really doesn't matter anymore because we don't have BLC,weekend events or the UFC seasons but I thought a year or two ago it was established that all taps to strikes here are going to be tko's?I guess it makes more sense just to go with what the official method is and probably easier with multiple fight editors.
