Hammerfist, elbow! yells Nomnomnom's corner. There ya go! There ya go! #T3#
Nomnomnom loads up on a big left hand. Waller felt that one! He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - Nomnomnom looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Waller can't hide his disappointment, as Nomnomnom celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Khalabib Nomnomnom!
