Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Drone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is t.i and ludacris-wish you would. Lewis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Butterfly Effect - Sweet and Low. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sinan Yak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yak kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Silahsiz Kuvvet - Sözlerim Silahim. Gonzalez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Why Cant we Be Friends!. 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.

The crowd are loving this. Great action here.
Prime scores with a sloppy right hand. Washington should have avoided that one.
Prime lands a big right hook! Washington looks hurt but is still standing! Prime lands a left jab and another right hook! This time Washington falls down and Prime dives in with a huge hammer fist! Washington's eyes roll back! The referee calls for the bell and Prime runs up the cage to celebrate with his fans!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:40 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Optimus Prime!
An out of breath and clearly excited Optimus Prime thanked My$tic Clothing ~ (`10%Laundry`) for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him).
