Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pasko Nusciva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nusciva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fart song. Nusciva is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio.

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Shinra breaks from Il's wrist control and lands an elbow.
Il is rocked!
Shinra softens up his opponent with a couple of shots there and then CRACK! One massive shot lands there and Il is out cold! Shinra jumps to his feet and celebrates on the cage with the fans, who are, quite frankly, going absolutely mental!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:42 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Seifer Shinra!
During a confident post fight interview, Seifer Shinra thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
