The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Costel shoots in with a takedown attempt and he has Pake pinned against the cage. Pake gets the underhooks and manages to circle away. Costel has been working on his boxing with his coaches at Pride in the buildup to the fight. Costel doesn't succeed with the takedown enabling Pake to counter with a crisp jab. Oooooh!!! Pake has knocked Costel down with a huge combo! Pake steps away and waves a wobbly Costel back to his feet! This one might not go much longer!
Costel is rocked! Costel tries for a takedown but Pake circles away easily and Pake counters with a beautiful right hand that knocks Costel out cold! What a finish! Pake is going crazy, running around the mat, summersaulting off the corner posts and screaming into the cameras. Something tells me he's pretty happy!

He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him. In defeat, Neculai Costel stepped up to the mic, saying 'You win some, you lose some.
