The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Decent striking displayed by Yaga there.
Yaga lunges at Tanev with a hook that half lands and is half blocked by Tanev's hand.

Yaga feints and then winds up with a huge right hand that connects perfectly and sends Tanev sprawling to the canvas! Tanev rolls over backwards and springs off the cage and manages to regain his footing - how acrobatic! Oh, he's still wobbly - can Yaga finish him?!

Tanev is rocked!
Yaga circles and sees the opportunity to plant his feet and throw a really nice straight left hand that drops Tanev to the canvas! Tanev doesn't know where he is but he's trying to survive - Yaga keeps piling on the pressure and forces the referee to step in! This one is aaaaaall over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:11 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Baba Yaga!
A relieved looking Baba Yaga thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
