Round 1: Machida comes out and takes the center of the octagon. Despite the long layoff, Machida looks like his vintage self, maintaining a long range and moving on the balls of his feet. Nothing of consequence happens for the first 90 seconds but Machida hits a stepping straight left as Bruson comes forward. Brunson reaches for a big right hand but comes up with air. Machida again times a stepping in left hand to an approaching Brunson but this time Brunson lands a huge left hook that clips Machida and has him on skates! Brunson follows up with some shots and finishes the fight and the crowd is silent.
OFFICIAL RESULT: Derek Brunson knocks out Lyoto Machida at 2:30 of Round 1.
