A nice elbow there by train.
Christensen takes a big shot to the dome and his eyes have rolled back in his head! train's killer instinct has kicked in as he finishes the fight with more strikes. Impressive finish.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). freight train!
