Briggs cracks Whitlock with a big elbow, right in the eye socket! Whitlock drops to his knees in obvious pain! The referee starts the count but it's plainly obvious that Whitlock isn't going to get back to his feet. The referee counts none the less and Briggs struts around the mat, safe in the knowledge that this one is over. A big win for Briggs!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Elbows). Macka Briggs!
A very excited looking Macka Briggs 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.
