Evans stops Griffin at UFC 92
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Rashad Evans stopped Forrest Griffin to win the light heavyweight championship Saturday night in UFC 92.
Griffin, the winner of the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality television show, and Evans, a second season winner, became the first two winners from the show to face off for a championship.
After two rounds of exchanging punches and kicks, Evans dropped Griffin to the mat in the third.
Evans landed multiple shots and a flailing Griffin was unable to defend himself. Evans landed a hard right which dazed Griffin then continued to connect with punches and the fight was stopped at 2:46 of the third round.
"It sounds good," said Evans, asked how it sounded to be called the champ.
"It was a great fight," he said. "Forrest gave me all I could handle the first two rounds."
Evans remains undefeated and now becomes the second winner of The Ultimate Fighter to capture a title.
