Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernest Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jacobs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Come Out Swinging. Miller has chosen The Greatest as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jacobs has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. The key to victory for Mark Jacobs has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Boy changes levels and drives through with a really nice takedown into side control. Bean looks really pissed at himself for not defending that better.
Boy has an Americana. Bean didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Boy is delighted and gyrates infront of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Boy hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Skinny Boy!
Skinny Boy is the new super heavyweight champion!
