Round 1: Garcia landing heavy left hands right off the bat. One clearly hurdts Hooper, and when Hooper stands agian, another left drops him hard. Garcia waves him up and slams home a leg kick, then drops him with another straight left. He’s not willing to follow him down, so he legs him up again. Hooper somehow still throwing with him, trying to land spinning back fists and getting clipped. Another counter left by Garcia floors Hooper yet again and a few hammerfists polish him off.

Round 3: Low kicks for Durden to start. Mota fires body shots, tries to limp-leg out of a shot, and tries a rolling kneebar when Durden keeps his grip. Durden looking for the back, one hook in a minute in. Both hooks, body triangle two minutes in. Durden attempts to flatten him out. More attempts. Mota turns into top guard with two minutes to go and waves Durden to his feet.
Mota stalking, denies the initial shot, but Durden drives through and avoids another rolling leglock attempt. One minute to go. Awkward position.
