"Johnson immediately closed the distance top open the fight, but Dumas reacted smartly by changing levels and securing a single-leg takedown. Johnson, however, never stayed flat on his back: he remained composed, used the cage effectively, and worked his way back to his feet. Dumas stayed heavy on the leg, but Johnson defended well, landing short punches before reversing position. With Dumas' back to the cage, Johnson took control, briefly suplexing him to the mat."
"In the second round, Johnson landed a sharp left hand that backed Dumas up, followed by an easy takedown along the fence. From there, he maintained top pressure, landing ground-and-pound while staying patient despite Dumas' wild upkicks. Johnson controlled the front headlock position, smoothly transitioning into a front choke. Even before it was fully locked in, Dumas was already looking for a way out. Once Johnson secured it, the tap was inevitable."
