Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miklo Velka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mohammad Lowal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Velka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Delinquent Habits - Tres Delinquentes. Lowal is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by KING KING KING. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Celek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faber kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is m.o.v.e - around the world. Celek is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 40 oz. Jackson Faber had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Brent Celek will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

And that's the end of the fight!
Brent Celek comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Celek winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 26:30
Judge George Francis scores the fight 26:30
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 26:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Brent Celek!
