Vontavious Payne in side control here. He's dropped a big elbow there and Dorn looks hurt! Oh, he is hurt! Vontavious Payne turns on the heat and pounds him out for a TKO victory! Good killer instinct there!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Maurice Vontavious Payne!
Maurice Vontavious Payne is the new super heavyweight champion!
A relieved looking Maurice Vontavious Payne thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
