Joshua Van vs Alexandre Pantoja

This looked like it had the potential to be a classic. Arman was pressuring well and getting what he wanted. Forcing Ruffy backwards and defending constantly. But Ruffy was defending well and damaged Arman early. As the round ended despite Arman controlling things it’s really did seem like Ruffy was growing in confidence and affect. Then Arman shot in and clinched up on the fence. He’s so active and dangerous. The work from earlier was paying off as Ruffy was fully focused on defending the takedown. Then Arman changed leveled from low to high and landed a Matt Brown Hellbow right on Ruffy’s cheek putting him out cold and hit him with one more as he fell. Title shot next.
