Hug stops a takedown attempt from Gazer.
That's four minutes gone in the round.
Hug lands an uppercut in the clinch that drops Gazer to his knees! Hug keeps firing more shots against his stricken opponent and the referee jumps in to save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:10 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Hades Hug!
Hades Hug decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
