Michael Johnson scores victory with brutal knockout

In the first round, the athletes studied each other a lot, with few significant actions. Michael Johnson dominated the center of the octagon, tried to surround his opponent and, at the last minute, landed a cross that made Ottman azaitar swing for the first time in the fight.

In the second round, the fighters came out to decide and started a frank exchange. The Moroccan put all his strength into his punches, but the veteran was faster and landed a cross that made Azaitar fall unconscious in the cage.
