After a month training with Dan Henderson and the rest of Team Quest, Jess was clearly at the top of his game. At the opening bell of the first round Jess immediately dominated Anthony Torres with flurries of strikes, perfect counter-attacks and an excellent clinch game, always remaining in the dominant position. Jess managed to knock Anthony down to the canvas early in the first round with a four-punch combo, from there on the fight was already clear who was going to take the win as Jess got the better of every exchange and another knockdown which was the beginning of the end until finally at 4:10 of the first round the referee decided to stop the fight as Jess unleashed another flurry of strikes and uppercuts.
The Frenchman was declared the winner via TKO and his gruelling training in the States has paid off. And what better time for this to happen than at the sellout crowd in the UK since 1985 and most viewed UFC ever in it's history at 5.4 million viewers worldwide shattering all records.
