The belt was vacated by The Ultimate FIghter alum, Darill Schoonover. Lashley over powered Knothe and was able to lock up an Americana to finish the fight at 3:44 of the opening round.
Knothe was the fourth opponent change for Lashley. He stepped in on just three days notice after his former opponents drop out. He was riding a 12 fight win streak prior to being man handled by Lashley.
