ROUND 1 - Both fighters come out orthodox. Both fighters winging punches, but none seemed to be landing to any effect. As soon as I type that, a right hand after a left rom Ryan Bader sends Jason Brilz face-first into the mat. The replay shows it may have been behind the ear and not even a full shot, but it was enough to get the job done.
A hugely important win for Ryan Bader as two losses in a row made tonight's fight a potential must-win.
