"The fight opened cautiously before exploding when Andrade detonated a massive right hand that dropped Reyes to his knees. Reyes fired back with a left, but another big overhand from Andrade crashed through as Reyes momentarily froze in front of him. When Reyes finally reset, he answered with a sharp right hand of his own, flooring Andrade and immediately swarming for the finish."
"Reyes poured on heavy ground-and-pound as Andrade desperately worked back to his feet. Reyes dragged him down with a mat return and briefly threatened the rear-naked choke while Andrade waved his finger in defiance. Staying relentless, Reyes took the back, flattened him out, and unleashed punches to the side of the head."
