The fight
The fight began with the athletes respecting each other and moving in the center of the octagon. Philipe took the initiative, landing two straight shots on the Canadian's face, who was walking backwards. Boser threw a low kick that knocked the Brazilian off balance, but Lins still had the advantage in the fight. Halfway through the round, Tanner landed a bomb that exploded on Philipe's head, which caused him to lose his balance. Afterwards, it was up to the Canadian to continue punching until Lins collapsed, declaring the knockout.
