Diego Lopes and Steve Garcia are feeling one another out within the first of three rounds.
Lopes lands the primary actual shot of the night time, launching with a few excessive proper kicks, earlier than touchdown with some heavy proper arms.
However Garcia clocks him with an overhand proper, which appears to rattle the Brazilian.
The group likes it, however not as a lot because it does when some bloke shouts “HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT TRUMP!”. Comfortably the most important cheer of the night time.
“LET’S GO LOPES!” goes the mantra. Hmmmm, cheering towards the American on the South Garden of the White Home. That is not very semiquincentennial birthday celebration of you.
As Daniel Cormier factors out in commentary, “he is the identified commodity” so it is no shock the followers are getting behind him.
However that is a very robust begin by Garcia, ending the spherical with good straight left to the face of Lopes. Tight spherical, however Garcia might need nabbed that one on factors.
