Olson doesn't succeed with the takedown
and Dunes counters with a left right combination that sends Olson crashing to the mat - Dunes wastes no time in diving on top of him and pounding Olson out for a TKO! Devastating finish!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Slugger Dunes!
