Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chris Berzins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Bruno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chris Berzins had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Bruno is rocked!
It looks like Xavier Bruno has been cut.
The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
Berzins feints a jab and as Bruno dips his head, Berzins unleashes a brutal head kick that catches Bruno right on the jaw! Timbeeer! Bruno falls backwards in slow motion, only propped up by the cage! Berzins smiles a psychotic smile as he stares down his unconscious opponent. That is a scary man.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:10 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Chris Berzins!
Chris Berzins is the new welterweight champion!
Chris Berzins decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
