This resulted in the referee telling Marquez to show something or the fight would end up being stopped. However, while Marquez was able to keep the fight from being stopped he didn’t stop the ground and pound. Johnson would keep throwing some heavy shots which would end up stopping the fight.

Tim Johnson will have to wait and see what happens with the other results this evening however, he has given him a great chance to progress.
