Gracie tries to bum rush Johnson with a series of wild strikes but Johnson uses good footwork to avoid the assault.
Johnson shoots for a double leg takedown but Gracie sprawls well. He's pushed Johnson's face into the mat and manages to get back to his feet relatively easily.
Gracie dances in with a quick combination. Johnson is being worked over with jabs and crosses. Oooh, a right straight from Gracie snaps Johnson's head back. Johnson stumbles backwards against the cage. Gracie steps forward and delivers a right cross that connects with Johnson's jaw, simultaneously knocking him out and sending his mouthpiece into the crowd! There's a worthy souvenir for the fans. This one is over folks. Johnson just didn't come prepared.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:12 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Petro Gracie!
The defeated Anthony Johnson had this to say: 'he fought better then i did'.
