Milnes has the Thai clinch. He lands a big knee to the head that stumbles McFadden - he's in trouble! Another big knee to the head from Milnes, and another! McFadden is out on his feet - the ref jumps in to save him and ends the fight!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:10 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Knees). Ants Milnes!
Ants Milnes made sure to mention his sponsor, Black Belt Nutrition #=========||=========# in his post fight interview.
