Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roger Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nero Aurelius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dread Zepellin - Stairway to Heaven. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Jones in full guard, throwing the ground and pound. No damage this time.
Denke is trying to keep Jones in close.
Jones has the superior BJJ but he's also working some ground strikes into his gameplan.
The crowd are loving this. Great action here.
Jones postures up as if he's going to throw some strikes but drops back for an ankle! Denke is in big trouble! He looks ready to tap! But no, he's escaped and dives on top of Jones, into his guard.
The crowd are going absolutely nuts as the round comes to an end - what a fantastic round of action!
Jones looking for submissions from the bottom here. Moving his hips around, possibly looking for an armbar.
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 Karl Denke.
I think Denke 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 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Gwen Towbar scores the fight as a draw!
Judge Robert Twigg scores the fight for Lazarus Jones!
Judge George Francis scores the fight for Lazarus Jones!
Lazarus Jones wins by majority decision!
Lazarus Jones gave a mention to Reaper Combatwear in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
