Machado took an aggressive approach for the fight from the very start. With one minute gone, he found the opportunity to deliver a right hook from down below that dropped the American fighter on his knees for the first time.
Evans managed to get on his feet and was also able to take the six punches barrage on his body but still fell down. He was in trouble from the very first second of the fight until the time it ended in his defeat.
Evans stood up after the second fall but this time Machado delivered an uppercut which left the American landing on his back. Referee Gonzalez called off the match without the need for the count.
