We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
Sabel gets in close and tags Oliveira with a short punch that almost sends Oliveira to the mat! Oh Oliveira is in big trouble! He turns his back on Sabel, trying to create some distance but Sabel rushes him, striking wildly and Oliveira goes down! The referee tackles Sabel into the cage to end the fight! Sabel is one violent man!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:53 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Zacharias Sabel!
