It looks like Trevina Gunter has been cut.
Brenner drops a shoulder and throws an uppercut that cracks Gunter right on the button. Gunter goes down! Brenner follows him to the mat and finishes the job with more strikes! Brenner gets the win via TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:14 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Richard Brenner!
Our winner, Richard Brenner, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
