In the pre-fight buildup videos we saw Afanasy working his ground and pound in the gym. So far it seems to be working well.
Naoi moves into full guard.
Afanasy working some strikes from top position.#SUB#
Naoi working for a triangle but Afanasy defends it easily.
Afanasy is working Naoi over from the guard. He should look to pass the guard and do a little more damage with these strikes.
Afanasy distracts Naoi with his right hand and drops a big elbow with his other arm.#ROC2#Naoi is rocked!
Afanasy gets to his feet and stands over Naoi, holding his ankles. He dives in with a big left hand that connects! Naoi felt that one! Afanasy unloads more punches and elbows and this one is over! The ref has dived in to save Naoi from any more punishment!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:59 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Akim Afanasy!
Akim Afanasy decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well. |
