Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:46 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Ivar Lodbrok!
Ivar Lodbrok is the new light heavyweight champion!
In his post fight interview, Ivar Lodbrok started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception.
In defeat, Humphrey Baker stepped up to the mic, saying 'If I cant kick ur ass...my momma can !'.
