In reality this fight should have been stopped at the end of the third round, but inexplicably referee Herb Dean allowed it to continue.
Luke Rockhold won the UFC middleweight title with a stoppage of Chris Weidman 3:12 in the fourth round.
The opening two rounds were even, but challenger Rockhold took control in the third when Weidman attempted a wheel kick and was taken to the ground. Champion Weidman took a beating from which he would not recover.
