Jemelianko is rocked!
It looks like Fiodor Jemelianko has been cut.
Barbarossa lands hard precision jab right on the jaw that stiffens Jemelianko up and sends him tumbling to the mat! The ref grabs Barbarossa from behind before he can pounce. Some folks in the crowd didn't like that stoppage, but I saw Jemelianko's eyes roll way back in his head, he was done.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Frederick Barbarossa!
Frederick Barbarossa very nearly forgot to thank Just Fight (Everything 7$) amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
