Baran displaying good standup as he scores with a three punch combination.
It looks like Thiago Rua has been cut. Jab, jab by Baran - just one landing. Rua takes a punch right to his stomach. That took the wind out of him momentarily. This has been an exciting period of action! Baran will need to tighten up his combinations if he doesn't want to gas himself out, swinging at thin air.
Rua looks for a takedown here. Will he get it? Baran is fending him off so far but Rua persists. Nope, Baran circles away and we're back to standing. No joy there for Baran, who threw a few shots but didn't land.
Rua should think about turning a few of those tyres round his middle into muscle if he wants people to take him seriously as an athlete. Baran stalks Rua and leaps in with a furious combination of punches. Uppercuts and crosses smash into Rua's face. Rua staggers backwards, shaken. Baran ducks down and throws a hook to the body. Baran comes forward and lands a shot to the body, then darts back out of range. A jab from Baran does it's job there.
That has opened up Thiago Rua's cut even more. Rua moves his head to the side to avoid a jab but walks straight into a cross. Baran really does look like a pencil wearing a pair of gloves. Let's hope he has a gameplan to suit that ridiculous body shape. Baran misses with a body shot.
Baran stuffs the takedown. Rua drops his hands momentarily and Baran takes advantage with a crisp shot to the head. Baran throws a jab to the body, straight down the pipe. Boom. That sent Rua stumbling backwards but he manages to regain his composure quickly. Rua lands a leg kick. The shin dug right into the meat of the thigh. It's a brutal combination of punches from Baran! Rua is backing up but he can't get away as Baran lands with one final shot to the jaw that drops Rua and ends the fight. Great knockout.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Adam Baran! Our winner, Adam Baran, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
