Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Lukapa lands a big elbow from half guard. That looks like it's hurt Stelter quite badly. Stelter pulls Lukapa in close trying to recover. Lukapa postures up and lands two really hard shots that put Stelter on queer street! The ref takes a look and decides to call an end to the fight! Possibly an early stoppage but Stelter doesn't seem to be complaining too much.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:04 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Kapakapa Lukapa!
