BigMan looks winded!
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
BigMan is keeping his hands low and just asking to be knocked out. Compton Raises his leg and lands a stunning axe kick! BigMan is out cold, face down on the mat!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Buck Compton!
Buck Compton retains his super heavyweight title!
A very excited looking Buck Compton 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.
