Carter wants to stay close but Silva steps back to make room for something. Carter seems frozen to the spot and bam! huge swing of the leg from Silva and Carter drops like he has been shot! A huge head kick and it's all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:17 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Ricardo Silva!
Ricardo Silva is the new light heavyweight champion!
Post fight, an emotional Ricardo Silva said 'Thank you, my family in Brazil. I love you. Thank you God; I love you God, you got me here, you're my buddy. Now I have title and I go to Disneyland.'.
