Neither would have found themselves in panic mode but Duquesnoy looked to have settled into the second stanza more comfortably and started finding a home for his jab, which was beginning to penetrate Philpott's guard more frequently.
Duquesnoy's pursuit of the right uppercut on the break did not prove fruitful but the same cannot be said for the left knee-right elbow combination which led to the beginning of the end for Philpott.
A trademark of Jackson/Winkeljohn fighters, the combo stunned Philpott and Duquesnoy smelled blood.
As he pounced, he happily took the back that was offered to him but, showing every ounce of experience, he did not rush proceedings.
He calmly worked and allowed Philpott to attempt to defend and tire himself out.
Punches and slicing elbows rained down from Duquesnoy and that vital gap showed itself.

Duquesnoy sunk his forearm under Philpott's chin and there was no option but to tap as the unstoppable freight train that seems destined for UFC stardom continued on its relentless journey.
Fight fans certainly seemed to believe that the Octagon was the next logical destination for the 'Fire Kid' whose flame has never shone more brightly.
