Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonah Wasswa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Dean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wasswa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to assassin muse. 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.

And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Robbie Collins.
I think Collins has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Andrew Berry scores the fight for Robbie Collins!
Judge James Ackerman scores the fight for Robbie Collins!
Judge Colin Fotheringham scores the fight for Robbie Collins!
Robbie Collins wins by unanimous decision!
