Lineker stalked Fernandes to start, with Fernandes firing back a few leg kicks. Fernandes drove Lineker to the mat, but Lineker was able to work his way back up. As soon as Lineker got up, he started landing bombs and wobbled Fernandes with a big left hook. Lineker walked him down as the pair exchanged heavy leather in the pocket.

During the firefight, Fernandes was able to drop Lineker on the counter with a left hook of his own, but once they hit the ground, Lineker reversed position and rode out the rest of the round in top position while landing some solid ground-and-pound.

Round 2 started with Lineker ripping the body, but Fernandes landed a takedown. However, once again, Lineker made his way back up and eventually found a perfect home for his left hook, which knocked out Fernandes and earned Lineker the gold.
