Test One has stuffed three takedown attempts in the round now. That's going to take a lot out of Islam Makhacevov.

One follows up with a massive right hook, straight to the bridge of the nose that knocks Makhacevov out cold! Oh wow, what a finish! Very reminiscent of Koscheck vs Yoshida as One finished him against the cage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Test One! Test One spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
