Goldberg is landing with strikes from the back.
Ragnarson is rocked!
Watch the back of the head! Comes the shout from the referee towards Goldberg.
Oh Ragnarson is still in real trouble! Will he be able to recover?!!
Ragnarson knows he needs to get back to his feet asap. He's simply no match for Goldberg on the ground.
Goldberg lands a series of strikes from the back and Ragnarson goes limp! The ref jumps in to save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Bill Goldberg!
Post fight, Bill Goldberg stared into the camera and said 'WHOSE NEXT?????!!!!'.
