Head scores with a crisp jab that stopped Teixeira in his tracks.
Teixeira is still on wobbly legs! Can Head finish him?
Head cracks Teixeira on the jaw with a powerful right hand and Teixeira falls backwards against the cage. Head follows up with more strikes that drop Teixeira to his knees. Head keeps the pressure on and the referee jumps in to save Teixeira! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:20 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Garrick Head!
Garrick Head thanked the fans post fight for their support.
