Lassiter landing strikes from the mount.
Oooooh, big shot lands for Lassiter! Jung is hurt baaadly! Lassiter is firing away with more strikes - Jung is covering up... the ref is warning him to do something. He's just covering up though still and the ref has to step in to end the fight! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:47 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Carlton Lassiter!
