Charlie Brenneman vs. Kyle Noke (170-pound limit):

Round one: Fighters meet in the middle and start off hesitantly, looking to find the distance. Good jab by Noke. Another stiff jab by Noke as Brenneman and his hair pop backwards. Huge right hand by Noke! He's all over him! Noke is raining down a barrage of punches and Dan Miragliotta has called a stop to the action.

Final results: Kyle Noke via TKO (strikes) at 0:45 of round one
