In the first round, Means landed a knee on the tip of Fialho's chin, which shook and was pressed against the cage. The Portuguese recovered and managed to connect a few blows, but it wasn't enough to turn the score around.
In the second round, Fialho showed his heavy hand and cornered Means against the cage, throwing brutal punches that made the American bleed. Means, however, showed his heart and resisted the attacks, returning another knee to Fialho's face, which he felt and was saved by the bell.
Everything was decided in the third round, when Means landed a high kick to Fialho's head, followed by a knee. Fialho fell and was unable to defend himself from the blows on the ground, being knocked out by the referee 29 seconds into the last round.
