Jeez, Urijah Penn's cut is really nasty now. The referee must be thinking about getting that checked.

The referee calls the doctor in to look at Urijah Penn's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:39 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Dean Venture!
