Round 1: Dan Miragliotta is the referee. Big pop for Fedor. Mitrione dances around, and Fedor just waits. Both men looking to land big. Mitrione first to throw, a left that misses. Leg kick from Fedor. USA chant goes off. Mitrione with a shoving left hand, and then they both swing at the same time and both land and go down! A double knockdown. Now Mitrione recovers first and lands a couple of shots, right hands, and now a big one and Fedor is out! It’s over. What a crazy fight. Mitrione just left Fedor lying supine on the canvas trying to come back to consciousness.
