Rua walks straight into a right hand from Noriega - that's dropped him! Noriega jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Rua from any more punishment! Rua complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:04 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Orlando Noriega!
