HFC Fight Night 1 PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Satashinko Yuo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Brugnolo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Satashinko Yuo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. The key to victory for Satashinko Yuo has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

A head kick by stone - that's a beauty! Vassiliev is out but he's somehow still standing... he's going... going... gone. Like a drunk walking down the middle of the road, the inevitable face plant follows and the delayed knockout arrives. Even stone can't help but laugh at the bizarre end to this one!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:08 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). ROCCO hard stone!
