Several low leg kicks from Garbrandt land and one drops Assuncao who drops to the mat momentarily. ‘No Love’ is on his heels bobbing, weaving and bouncing around the cage without a care in the world as round one comes to an end.
Round 2: The second round opens up quickly with a scramble on the mat as Assuncao stands up he eats a nasty head kick but takes it well getting straight back into the face of ‘No Love’. The Brazilian is consistently switching his stance and seems to be having real problems with one of his legs due to Garbrandt’s low kicks. Lot’s of feints from both men but them eventually clash and Assuncao comes off better. Garbrandt lands a huge right hand over the top that drops Assuncao. ‘No Love’ points at his opponent who claims it was a slip – I’m not too sure.
