Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodney Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holmes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is F.A.M.E. Smith has chosen Grand Magus - Hammer of the North as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Igor Glozman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abe Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

That's four minutes gone in the round.
Scott is writhing around trying to get back to his feet.
Pyle raining down shots from the mount!
Maximus Scott's cut is absolute horrible now. This looks like something out of a horror film with blood covering both fighters.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Maximus Scott's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:29 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Gomer Pyle!
Gomer Pyle is the new welterweight champion!
An out of breath Gomer Pyle thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
