At UFC on FOX 15, back in April 18, 2015, Luke Rockhold took on Former UFC light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida in an 185-pound contest in the main event of the card. That night in Newark, Rockhold put on a dominant performance, choking out the Brazilian in the second round of the fight. The victory earned Rockhold a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
Now, almost three years later, Rockhold will take on Yoel Romero in the main event of UFC 221. The two middleweight contenders are set to battle for the interim belt. UFC 221 will take place on Saturday at the Perth Arena in Perth, Western Australia.
