Tatov softens up his opponent with a couple of shots there and then CRACK! One massive shot lands there and Nunn is out cold! Tatov jumps to his feet and celebrates on the cage with the fans, who are, quite frankly, going absolutely mental!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:28 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Igor Tatov!
