It looks like Cameron Speed has been cut.
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out!
Speed drops his hands for a split second and Megaphny immediately capitalizes on the opportunity by smashing a powerful hook into Speed face, sending his mouthguard sailing through the air, much to the delight of the crowd. Megaphny follows up with a right hand that knocks Speed into next week. He's out cold and this fight is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Kirk Megaphny!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ringo Spar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Christian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, i Get Knocked Down, But i Get Up Again. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
