Brakeley cracks Cage with a big right hand that sends him to the floor! Cage looks wobbly but he's sprung back up to his feet straight away… can Brakeley finish him?
Cage is rocked!
Brakeley measures up his opponent and throws a superman punch that connects to the jaw! Down goes Cage! The ref steps in, and that's the ball game folks!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:50 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Superman Punch). Michael Brakeley!
In his post fight interview, Michael Brakeley gave a big smile as he said 'I'm not surprised...mother fuckers!'.
