Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rain Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evans's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Four Words To Choke Upon" by BFMV. Hernandez has chosen 3 Stars and a Sun by Francis M as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Anderson Evans could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Rain Hernandez's chin.

Toney is still on wobbly legs! Can Bell finish him?
Bell rushes Toney with punches - Toney moves straight backwards instead of circling and gets clipped by the second strike... and the third... and the fourth! Oh, Toney goes down! Bell follows up with more strikes and the ref steps in to end the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:30 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Russell Bell!
