Former UFC champion Luke Rockhold successfully returned from a more than year-long layoff on Saturday when he defeated David Branch in the UFC Fight Night 116 headliner. In his first fight since losing the 185-pound belt to Michael Bisping in June 2016, Rockhold (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) rebounded with a second-round submission victory over former two-division WSOF champion Branch (21-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) in the FS1-televised headliner at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.
