Seemingly taken by the unprecedented moment, Menno hit the floor again with sheer fury, forcing an impromptu extension to the final, as the music dropped back onto a roaring crowd.
Fired up by Menno's wordless challenge to keep going, Killa Kolya went out to face his competitor and the two warriors thrilled the crowd with two extra rounds of sheer breaking fire.

The emotion:
Menno dedicated his momentous win to his soon-to-be-born son, his daughter, wife and family, and gave his thanks to the Mumbai crowd, saying: "When your fuel is done they refuel you with their energy. You could see that the crowd was really in the moment, and it was like time was standing still in the middle, with everyone cheering and super-hyped."
