That's three minutes gone in the round.
Presle swings widly with a right hand
and Silva counters with a flying knee that drops Presle! Silva dives in and finishes the fight with a flurry of strikes from the mount!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:06 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Glaube Silva!
A very excited looking Glaube Silva made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
