Christ is fending him off so far but Popov persists. Nope, Christ circles away and we're back to standing. Popov takes a hook to the side of the head. I wonder if that's got his ears ringing.

Popov misses with a takedown attempt - Christ sprawls well and throws a nice strike on the way out which just misses. Christ swinging wildly here.
Christ fakes a couple of low kicks, before throwing one on the third attempt. It connects and Popov has to reset his feet before getting ready to engage. Christ scores with a three punch combo!
Popov walks straight into a right hand from Christ - that's dropped him! Christ jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Popov from any more punishment! Popov complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
