Former Ultimate Fighter winner Jonathan Brookins managed to continue his impressive UFC career by knocking out Vagner Rocha in the first round of their UFC on Fuel TV bout. Rocha looked very capable of winning the fight in the stand-up early landing good left hands and looking a bit quicker to pull the trigger and avoid danger than Brookins.
It was when Vagner attempted to get a takedown that the fight turned. Rocha tried to get the body clinch and take the fight to the ground but Brookins reversed, ended up on top and quickly unloaded with a series of shots that knocked Rocha out.
It was a violent ending that improved Brookins to 2-1 in his official UFC bouts, with the lone loss coming to a title contender in Erik Koch. It will be interesting to see how the UFC wants to handle Brookins going forward.

I wasn't
each one of those shots were clean to the jaw. Really good accuracy from Brookins.
Ya he does seem really laid back.
Kind of like corey from trailer park boys.
Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.

A good performance from Brookins
I still see him with his chin high he’s been dropped in the past because of it. Tuck that chin man. Other than that he looked good.

I told y’all don’t sleep on Brookins! First time I’ve been right in a while! I think he broke the record for saying “man” in a post-fight interview as well!

ok, not trying to sound rude or ignorant or whatever
But is Brookins Black, Half-black, caucasian?

I figured he was black with Albino tendencies
