Following a dominant win over Malcolm Wellmaker on short notice, Ewing had a full training camp to prepare for his second fight and it definitely showed.
From the start, Ewing was punishing Estevam with blistering combinations that were just chipping away at the Brazilian. Ewing scored a near finish at the close of the opening round but he just kept dishing out damage until he blasted Estevam with a nasty body shot that put him down and out on the canvas. That was enough to earn the knockout victory with the referee stopping the fight at 1:44 in the third round.
