I'm just looking down at my notes here and I see that.... oh! Ector has cracked Pekka with a big right, followed by a left! He's out on his feet! Ector lands another huge swinging hook and Pekka tumbles to the canvas! The ref dives in to save Pekka, before Ector can land any more shots!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:30 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Kay Ector!
Kay Ector very nearly forgot to thank GREEN!160 amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gymer Alexandersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hamish Kersikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alexandersson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lasse Dahlquist - Jolly Bob från Aberdeen. Kersikov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding - I Need Your Love (Da Tweekaz Remix). Gymer Alexandersson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
