A short uppercut from McGarrity.
McGarrity scores with a shoulder strike.
Jeremy Phillips's cut is absolute horrible now. This looks like something out of a horror film with blood covering both fighters.
A nice left hand lands by McGarrity.
McGarrity mutters something to Phillips before pushing him back against the cage. As Phillips comes back towards him, McGarrity unloads a hook from the very depths of hell that knocks Phillips clean out! Oh. My. God. That is some seriously brutal stuff right there! What a knockout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:51 of round 4, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Cian McGarrity!
Cian McGarrity retains his welterweight title!
Cian McGarrity decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
