Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Golden Glory (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfie Norks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Glory kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sin From Genesis. Norks has chosen Like a G6 as his entrance music. 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.

Alfie Norks comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Glory has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Matheus Silva scores the fight for Golden Glory!
Judge Alexandre Firmino scores the fight for Golden Glory!
Judge Paulo Santos scores the fight for Golden Glory!
Golden Glory wins by unanimous decision!
Golden Glory is the new heavyweight champion!
Golden Glory seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
