Niaz makes a bit of distance and scores with some ground and pound, still in guard.
Niaz trying to control but Ling is working from the bottom.
Niaz lands a couple of decent looking shots.#ROC2#Ling is rocked!#CUT2#Xing Ling's cut is getting worse.#T2#
Niaz loads up on a big left hand. Ling felt that one! He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - Niaz looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Ling can't hide his disappointment, as Niaz celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Date Niaz! |
