Rashad Evans vs. Chuck Liddell

They circled wide to start off the first round, with Liddell basically stalking the elusive and smaller Evans. The crowd was behind the former champion Liddell. Not much action had occured, however, after a bit and thus scattered boos began rising. Evans landed a leg kick, moving out of range. He changed stances, apparently attempting to throw off Liddell. Liddell was cut badly under his right eye by the end of the round.
The second round began with the fighters exchanging a bit more than in the first and the crowd appeared to be sated by this action now. Evans quickly took the advantage with effective counter striking, and Evans appeared to be getting more confident and circling more bouncily. With three minutes and ten seconds remaining in the second round, Rashad came over the top and hit Liddell in the chin, knocking him out. Liddell had moved forward with an uppercut and Rashad had come over the top.
