Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Rest Belt, America
With Saturday bringing us some fun in the city that smells of sulfur and regret. Pittsburgh, that formerly proud of its industry and might, buildings that were once strong brick and steel, clean to the touch, are now cracked, crumbling, and dangerous. Hope exists, but only so far as the jailers of globalization use it to keep the people from rising up. The massive bridges that adorn the skyline are far more worn on the side leaving than entering.
It’s also where Luke Rockhold will fight David Branch, a fight no one cares about! Many years ago, in a fight people did care about, Rockhold fought Chris Weidman. Weidman was the UFC’s Middleweight Champion. He’d made easy work of the greatest dick pill user of all time, Anderson Silva, the lesser dick pill using Lyoto Machida, and was keen to add Rockhold’s name to his resume. It was not to be. Rockhold crossed the rubicon and defined his career with one word: CHAMPION.
Let’s all relive that fight, through the UFC’s retrospective feature series, FIGHT PASS TWENTY/20, from their Fight Pass service, and see what the two men have to say.
