Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Cage dips a shoulder and cracks Snyder with a mighty uppercut! Snyder falls back against the cage and Cage unloads with a barrage of strikes! Snyder is completely out with his eyes open, only supported by the cage! Save him ref! Eventually the ref decides to do his job and jumps in - Cage screams abuse at the incompetent official before going over to celebrate with his corner. Brutal stuff!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:36 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Luke Cage!
Luke Cage spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
