__________________________________________________________

The first episode aired September 19, 2012 at 7:30PM AUS ET. It was a pretty decent episode for the most part, introducing the fighters, and the coaches. Getting to know some of them, the Aussies already up to a little bit of tricks by hiding Team UK's bags lol. 1 episode in we already have an injury when Michael Pastou tore his bicep in training.

On to our 1st fight, Australia won the coin toss so they elected to choose the first fight, and UK gets to choose the first weigh class. The class is welterweights.

From Team Australia - Ben Alloway
From Team UK - Valentino Petrescu


Round 1:

Pretty sloppy round from both fighters IMO, Ben Alloway came out with a few wild kicks, Valentino looked a little more polished in this round, not throwing so wildly. Valentino looked to gain a little of the upperhand but Ben caught him with a take down, kind of sloppy but nonetheless a take down. After a lot of nothing on the ground the round is coming to a close and Ben Alloway started to throw some punches to face as the round ends.

Winner of Round 1: Ben Alloway

Round 2:

Short round here as the fighters come out a few kicks and punches thrown by both fighters. Ben Alloway throws a wild punch which he threw tentatively, knocking Valentino down, Ben then seizes his opportunity by landing follow-up punches on the ground, thus ending the round in under a minute.

Winner of the Fight by TKO: Ben Alloway
