Pandas gets cracked there but stands up to it.
Young fakes a right and follows up with a big left that drops Pandas to one knee - oooooh, he's wobbly! Pandas looks to clinch but Young throws him off and pummels him into the canvas! Pandas taps out under the strikes! The fight is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Strikes). Ryder Young! |
