Brody walks right into a perfectly timed right hook and goes down hard! He's out cold! The ref cradles Brody limp body while Tyrell jumps on to the cage and waves to the roaring crowd. Wow that was just a brutal knockout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:30 of round 4, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Chad Tyrell!
Chad Tyrell is the new light heavyweight champion!
Our winner, Chad Tyrell, 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.
