Steinhof loads up on a big left hand. Gormanson felt that one! He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - Steinhof looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Gormanson can't hide his disappointment, as Steinhof celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Douglas Steinhof!
A very excited looking Douglas Steinhof made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
