From junkie

ROUND 1 - Sanchez pushes the action early and knocks Hardonk down. After little action on the ground, the referee stands the fighters up. The fighters clinch, and Hardonk works the knees inside, but Sanchez is then able to move the fight back to the ground. Another standup, then another takedown by Sanchez, and the round ends. MMAjunkie.com scores the round 10-9 Sanchez.

ROUND 2 - Hardonk starts out the aggressor landing a knee and several shots to the body. Sanchez battles back, however, and a wild back-and-forth exchange ensues. Hardonk begins to land the heavier blows, and a strong left hook forces the referee to halt the action. Antoni Hardonk def. Eddie Sanchez via TKO (strikes) -- Round 2, 4:15
