Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between JohnAmund Skaar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny English (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skaar's entrance music is Celesty - Vendetta. A fine choice. JohnAmund Skaar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.5lbs, 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. Johnny English is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Skeeves is still on wobbly legs! Can Taalasmaa finish him?
Taalasmaa lands a big knee! That's hurt Skeeves! Oh, he's all over the place! Taalasmaa lands another knee that sends Skeeves to the floor and the referee steps in to end the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Seppo Taalasmaa!
