#R1##CL2# Hairsten fakes with an overhand right and moves in to clinch with Sonnen, pushing him back against the cage. Hairsten gets double underhooks to prevent a takedown attempt from Sonnen.
Hairsten lands a damaging elbow. #CUT2# It looks like Chael Sonnen has been cut. Hairsten lands a shoulder strike that jolts his opponent's head backwards. Hairsten's coach down at Highland CT & Spar was telling us pre-fight that they have been working on Hairsten's balance. Obviously they view that as a key factor in the outcome of this fight. Hairsten lands an elbow inside. Hairsten lands a body punch in the clinch. #BC2# Hairsten's corner calls for him to break the clinch, which he does. Hairsten circles to his right before unloading a perfect head kick! Sonnen drops to the canvas, hurt badly! Hairsten follows Sonnen to the ground and unloads with a series of strikes that force the referee to step in and end the fight! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:31 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Billy Hairsten! Billy Hairsten bigged himself up after the win. The crowd seemed to love it.
