Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chase (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chase comes to the cage accompanied by Victory by Viking Quest. Silva has chosen 'Be Myself' by Charlie Brown Jr. as his entrance music. Johnny Chase had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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 Chase looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Nice uppercut lands for Ribeiro. That snapped Castro's head back.
Ribeiro moves in close and cracks Castro with a massive right hand! Castro, frozen momentarily in time, tumbles to the canvas, already out cold! A brutal knockout by Ribeiro!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:29 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Mike Ribeiro!
