Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Axl Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adrik Vasilev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose's entrance music is You Could Be Mine. A fine choice. Vasilev has chosen Mr. Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix Radio Edit) as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Adrik Vasilev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ras Li Judah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Constantine Kermit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Norton misses with an uppercut
and Turpin counters with a beautiful right hand that knocks Norton out cold! What a finish! Turpin is going crazy, running around the mat, summersaulting off the corner posts and screaming into the cameras. Something tells me he's pretty happy!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:34 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Randolph Turpin!
Randolph Turpin took some time post fight to say the following; 'Like to thank my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, without him I am nothing.'.
