It looks like Luis Costa has been cut. Lin fakes and then throws a beautiful body shot. Costa looks a bit winded and takes a step backwards to take a breath. Lin pushing out the jab but it's not landing. A looping hook to the body misses from Lin. Costa does a little dance to reset his feet. Costa slips a jab from Lin.
Lin changes levels and drives through with a really nice takedown into side control. Costa looks really pissed at himself for not defending that better. If this pace continues, the referee will definitely step in and force a standup. Lin in side control lands a nice looking series of punches and elbows. Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd. Lin working the body and head with strikes.

Costa is rocked! Lin scores with a big shot from side control... and another... and another! Oh Costa is done here - save him referee! More strikes land and eventually the ref does step in and Lin can finally stop beating on his defenseless opponent!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Roger Lin!
