Machida tries to clinch up but Maguire pushes him back against the cage and lands another monster strike that crumples Machida to the mat! Machida covers up and Maguire unloads with more strikes until the referee steps in to end the bout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:04 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Cormac Maguire!
