Maldini is rocked!
Jecht lands a big elbow from half guard. That looks like it's hurt Maldini quite badly. Maldini pulls Jecht in close trying to recover. Jecht postures up and lands two really hard shots that put Maldini on queer street! The ref takes a look and decides to call an end to the fight! Possibly an early stoppage but Maldini doesn't seem to be complaining too much.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Sir Jecht! Sir Jecht retains his welterweight title!
An out of breath Sir Jecht thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
