Riasco on the wrong end of a nice hook.
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Sanford drops Riasco with a naaaaasty hook - Riasco is in real trouble here! Sanford dives in to side control and pounds out his opponent for a TKO victory! The crowd goes nuts!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:57 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Lamont Sanford!
Lamont Sanford retains his lightweight title!
Lamont Sanford very nearly forgot to thank Spartan Nutrition 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.
