A good leg kick by Chekhov.
That's two minutes gone in the round.
Chekhov cracks Dirty with a big right hand that sends him crashing to the floor. Chekhov has the opportunity to follow him to the ground but instead he's beckoning Dirty to stand back up!
Dirty is rocked!
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Chekhov lunges in with a left hook that violently twists Dirty head around and knocks him out cold! Chekhov hops onto the cage and yells out at the top of his lungs - Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah! They're showing the replay on the big screens now; that was nasty! I hope one of the photographers got a good shot of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:13 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Anton Chekhov!
During a confident post fight interview, Anton Chekhov thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
Dickie Dirty was interviewed post fight and said 'I can't beat top guys frequently enough anymore so it's no longer worth it. I am hanging up my gloves.'.
