Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:46 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Teke Bamalog!
Teke Bamalog really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that KOMBAT KLOTHING logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Scot Harwath (ranked 154 p4p, 74 weight class) and Drizzt Do Urden (ranked 25 p4p, 15 weight class). Do Urden has chosen Junna Through the fire and flames as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
