Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Will Rounded (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Bradshaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rounded might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slayer - Raining Blood. Bradshaw has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Nick Bradshaw has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:13 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Will Rounded!
