Bussey lands a nice uppercut.#ROC2#
Hebert is rocked!#T2#
Bussey creates a bit of space for himself and rocks Hebert with a big uppercut! Hebert tries to clinch up but Bussey pushes him back against the cage and lands another monster strike that crumples Hebert to the mat! Hebert covers up and Bussey unloads with more strikes until the referee steps in to end the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:13 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Tommy Bussey!
