Sykk passes Yoshimitsu's right leg, so he's now in half guard.
Yoshimitsu is still in real trouble! Can Sykk finish him?
Sykk lands a big elbow from half guard. That looks like it's hurt Yoshimitsu quite badly. Yoshimitsu pulls Sykk in close trying to recover. Sykk postures up and lands two really hard shots that put Yoshimitsu on queer street! The ref takes a look and decides to call an end to the fight! Possibly an early stoppage but Yoshimitsu doesn't seem to be complaining too much.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:34 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Vesa Sykk!
Vesa Sykk retains his featherweight title!
