Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hershel Hasselhoff (ranked 2736 p4p, 321 weight class) and Rafael Winger (ranked 3260 p4p, 364 weight class). Winger has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Hershel Hasselhoff has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Wallace defending well as Scaletta loads up on a big left hand.
Scaletta throws a wild hook but Wallace just manages to duck under it and - ooooh! Scaletta gets nailed by a brutal uppercut which crumples him back against the cage! The referee jumps in - Wallace raises his hands in celebration and walks away!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:44 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). William Wallace!
William Wallace retains his middleweight title!
Our winner, William Wallace, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
In defeat, Vito Scaletta stepped up to the mic, saying 'You know when we first started out, I thought I was gonna be the biggest, baddest wiseguy in the world'.
