Costa content to strike from guard, landing some decent shots. #ROC#
Yong is rocked!
Costa really does look like a pencil wearing a pair of gloves. Let's hope he has a gameplan to suit that ridiculous body shape.
Costa gets to his feet and stands over Yong, holding his ankles. He dives in with a big left hand that connects! Yong felt that one! Costa unloads more punches and elbows and this one is over! The ref has dived in to save Yong from any more punishment!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:44 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Wallace Costa!
Our winner, Wallace Costa, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
