Tanaka looking to throw knees to the head but Santo is blocking nicely.
Santo creates a bit of space for himself and unleashed what can only be described as a tiger uppercut, straight out of Street Fighter! Tanaka crashes to the mat! Can he make it back to his feet in time? 3,4,5,6... it doesn't look like he's going to make it! Tanaka face plants back to the mat and the referee calls off the fight! Santo takes it with a brutal technical knockout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:33 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punch). Franco Santo!
A victorious Franco Santo thanked his army of followers in his post fight interview, telling people to make sure they follow him on Twitter.
