The #7 ranked heavy weight and former champion Junior Dos Santos took the #11 ranked Tai Tuivasa to school with his Octagon control and fight experience. Tai rushed to finish the fight as soon as he could, but JDS was elusive and waited for the right opportunity. Tai landed a huge leg kick which saw JDS buckle for a moment. Tai landed some shots but JDS brushed them aside and continued move around the cage. In a flurry exchange, JDS caught Tai and dropped him down from there on he controlled the top position and landed punches in bunches. Tai responded from the ground but had no impact on JDS who was relentless with his onslaught. The referee had seen enough and stepped in to stop the fight.
