A right hook to the body lands for Raefon.
Oh Li is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Raefon loads up on a right hand - it lands flush and knocks Li senseless! What a punch!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:59 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Mad Raefon! Mad Raefon retains his heavyweight title!
A very excited looking Mad Raefon made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
