Firanen fails with the takedown.
That's three failed takedown attempts in the round for Kai Firanen. That's going to take a lot out of him.#KD2#
Oooooh!!! Turso has knocked Firanen down with a huge combo! Turso steps away and waves a wobbly Firanen back to his feet! This one might not go much longer!#ROC2#
Firanen is rocked!#CUT2#
It looks like Kai Firanen has been cut.
Firanen is starting to get sloppy and is letting his hands down. Turso just took advantage and landed a stinging jab. Oh! Now a right hook, right on the button! Firanen has gone limp and this one is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:34 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Iku Turso!
