Old Fart walks straight into a right hand from Velutina - that's dropped him! Velutina jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Old Fart from any more punishment! Old Fart complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:27 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Quercus Velutina!
