Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nate Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Blake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Sai is rocked!
It looks like Decha Sai has been cut.
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Sai get stunned by a cross and takes another one on the button. Sai stumbles backwards and tries to bounce back off the cage but Meese runs in and jumps on him with a leaping lead hook that puts him out! Wow, that was highlight reel stuff! Awesome finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:32 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Georges Meese!
Georges Meese really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Sully's Bar & Grill logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
