Olivieria is giving Bivol nothing to think about, his nose bloodied and he's content to just cover up and fight on the backfoot. Bivol lands some good shots but Olivieria's reluctance to engage is drawing this fight out.

Bivol showing more urgency in round 6, Olivieria begins to clinch in an attempt to survive. Bivol scores a knockdown (can't remember what punch he threw) and Olivieria must've speared Bivol's legs as Bivol tumbles on top of him. T'was quite a comical moment but Olivieria's looking uncomfortable on the ground and the referee ends the fight.
EDIT: Upon replay, it was a partially blocked left hook which put Olivieria down. Looks to be more so exhaustion and beaten mentally rather than a great shot.Comment

Lipets gets Sanchez on the ropes, lands a straight right and follows it up with a left uppercut to the stomach. Sanchez wilts and grimaces, Lipets had a good pace from the 2nd round onwards and ground out a stoppage win.
@Freedom: That fight was frustrating, Bivol did all that he could.Comment
