Zabijaka connects with a right that clearly hurt Rodrigues Castro. He's backed up against the cage with nowhere to go as Zabijaka proceeds to tee off with vicious combinations till Rodrigues Castro collapses and taps out under the pressure!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:09 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Jack Zabijaka!
Jack Zabijaka seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
