Lopez is really peppering his opponent's head with punches.
Magomedov looks winded!
Lopez cracks a nice hook into Magomedov's ribs.
Magomedov leaves his chin hanging out and Lopez seizes the opportunity with an uppercut! Magomedov crumbles to the floor in a heap, and the referee steps in and tends to the downed fighter! What a knockout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:34 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Nate Lopez!
