Birthday working the clinch nicely. Nuisance is working for position but Birthday cracks him with a big knee to the head! Nuisance crumples up against the cage and Birthday lands two more shots before the ref can save Nuisance! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Knee & Punches). Corey Birthday! Corey Birthday retains his heavyweight title!
An out of breath Corey Birthday thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
