Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:28 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). The Moottoripaa!
The Moottoripaa retains his super heavyweight title!
A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, The Moottoripaa made sure he mentioned Fight Day Nutrition (Authentic 160Q/159Q supps!), along with how happy he was to win his fight.
