David Branch plans to make an example of Luke Rockhold en route to title shot

Headlining a UFC card for the first time, David Branch is warning everyone watching to expect the unexpected.

With the majority of his 21 career victories coming by way of decision, the former World Series of Fighting middleweight and light heavyweight champion hasn’t always been known for bringing a high-octane approach to the cage, but he’ll tell you that his conservative style is a matter of choice and not limitations.

Branch steps up to the plate against former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in the main event of UFC Pittsburgh this Saturday, and now that he’s being recognized — and compensated — as one of the best in his division, he’s done holding back.
