Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Poe Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Squires (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Poe Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Through the fire and flame. Fernando Poe Jr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

The crowd are loving this. Great action here.
Rain stands up.
Oh Castle is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Rain drops a shoulder and throws an uppercut that cracks Castle right on the button. Castle goes down! Rain follows him to the mat and finishes the job with more strikes! Rain gets the win via TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:45 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Johnny Rain!
