.....................................................
Craigson Dowlling: And the first round comes to an end… a round that was dominated by David Starnes. It connected a variety of punches and even a knee to the head. He even had a few submission locks that Northshire was able to slip out of. On top of it, Starnes looks unscathed while James has a bruise beginning to swell up on the right eye and small cut underneath the left eye. It will be interesting to see the adjustments made. Overall, I give the first round to Starnes, 10-8.
