Cross is in close to Castaneda's body, working some short punches and elbows.
Castaneda wants to control here, rather than go for any submissions from the bottom. At least for now.
Cross arches his back and unloads with a massive left and a right! Castaneda's eyes roll back into his head, he's out cold! The ref dives in to stop the fight - wow, they were hard shots!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:41 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Napura Cross!
A relieved looking Napura Cross thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
