Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hans De Vries (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think De Vries might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Duke Lion. Antona has chosen Laid to Rest by Lamb of God as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

And that’s the end of the round – the fighters go back to their corners.
Gegard Zaromskis had his way with Freddy Alves in that round.
The corners get their ten second warning. Both fighters stand from their stools and stare eachother down, ready to get back to the action. This is the final round!
Alves takes a shot right to the liver - Bas would have been proud of that punch.
Alves drops his hands and takes a jab to the jaw for his troubles.
Alves is rocked!
Zaromskis finds Alves's off switch, with a big overhand right that connects perfectly to the side of the head! Alves flops back against the cage, eyes gazing into the distance. Zaromskis lands an unnecessary shot before the referee has time to step in and end the fight. Brutal stuff but I'm sure Alves will be OK.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:14 of round 5, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Gegard Zaromskis!
Gegard Zaromskis retains his lightweight title!
