Here’s Dallas Winston’s (brief) play-by-play of the fight.
R1: Bader opens with a single-leg attempt that Johnson easily defends before scurrying behind Bader for the back ride. Bader grapevines a leg and goes two-on-one wrist control, clinging to it as Johnson explodes forward into full mount. “Rumble” breaks the grip, postures up and detonates a menacing volley of right hands to the side of the head until Bader goes limp.
