The UFC rankings will be awash in reds and greens by Monday morning. In a night of stunning and often spectacular breakout performances, Luke Rockhold provided us a fitting sendoff, dismantling former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida before breaking the Brazilian's will with an effortless second-round rear-naked choke in the main event of UFC on FOX 15. The upheaval that emerged out of New Jersey will be talked about for weeks, but for now check out reaction from the pros from a wild Saturday night.
Luke is on fire!! #UFCNewJersey
