In the opening fight of the Heavyweight Semi-Final Tournament, Errol Zimmerman of Curacao and Ben Edwards of Australia touch gloves and after a few body kicks, Zimmerman knocks Edwards who is quickly back to his feet. There is no love loss between these heavyweights and the exchanges are coming quickly as Zimmerman lands a powerful right cross only to be answered by Edwards with body blows.
Edwards has Zimmerman on the ropes, but Zimmerman comes out and knocks Edwards down resulting in a standing 8-count. Edwards is regrouping but a bit hesitant, which no one would blame him after that barrage.
Going on the offensive, the Australian is counted with a big right hand and after the third knock down, loses by TKO at 2:50 in the very first round. Zimmerman will now face the winner of Anderson Silva and Sergei Kharitonov.
