Dave Bautista won his MMA debut yesterday night defeating MMA veteran Vince Lucero in the first round after the referee stopped the fight with just over a minute to go.

The former WWE and World Heavyweight champion was on the receiving end of some hard shots in the opening two and a half minutes and wasn’t good in trying to defend himself, finding himself backed up against the cage while Lucero pummeled him.

However Bautista then landed a takedown, pinned his opponent’s right arm, took his back, and started hammering down on Lucero and the referee stepped in after Lucero couldn’t protect himself better.
