We start this night in the Light Heavyweight Division! The light go out and the Crowd Roars! Let's start the main card of with a bang!

Jonny Goldberg vs Bobby Tate

Jonny enters the octagon with a Scrumluscent 6-1 record! All his victories coming by way of Knockin some poor fool out! Standing and trading with the bad Mutha is ill-advised! Bobby Tate enters the octagon tonight as more of a ground specialist with top tier wrestling! Bobby actually pondered a career with the WWE but then checked his jock-strap, found a brass pair, and decided he was a real man! Let's see how our fighters fare tonight! THE BELL RINGS!!! Jonny rushes forward and clinches up! Tate is trying to push him away by Jonny keeps him pressed up on the cage! Jonny pops him with a right for good measure! Tate wants to take this down to the ground. Jonny works in and gets some underhooks to keep control. Jonny changes his mind and breaks the clinch! Tate was surprised by the change of pace and even moreso and Jonny clinches right back up! Jonny lands a right and an inside body shot! Jonny keeps working and pops Tate with a shoulder! And a Haymaking Uppercut!!! That snapped Tate's head back! But Tate seems alright and more determined than ever to get a takedown! Jonny is holding clinch well and his dirty boxing is Absolutely FILTHY! A nice uppercut to the body by Jonny Goldberg and we can see the bruise immediately! Tate wants out but Jonny holds him closer, like a Tiny Dancer! Jonny is controlling well but breaks clinch! We are back to stand-up! Tate shoots in for a takedown but it's defended. Jonny fakes a head shot and lands one to the body once again! And Jonny Goldberg surges forward again to get back home! We're all clinched up! Jonny sinks in double underhooks and lands a short punch! And then a right to Tate's head! And ANOTHER!!! Jonny then pushes away from the clinch and tries a huge head kick that just misses! Tate drops and drives for a takedown but Jonny sprawls just in time! As the fighters seperate Jonny winds up a Devastating Uppercut! Bobby Tate's eyes are rolling circles in the back of his head and he drops like a sack of potatoes! Jonny rushes in to finish! The Ref rushes in between because IT'S OVER!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner at 2:51 of the very first round by TKO!!! JONNY GOLDBERG!!!

Oh that was CRAAAAAZY! We can fully expect the Crazy to Continue here! There is absolutely nothing "Light" about these next Heavyweights!!!

"The Canadian Bad Boy" Bobby Benoit vs "Doomsday" Donny McDoogle

The CBB comes is rocking some TNT by AC/DC! Well he is pretty much exactly that! His hand are straight up DY-NO-MITE!!! The majority of Benoit's wins have come via Knock-out and he brings some excellent wrestling to round out his rising star resume! Well if I were a betting man (and on record *ahem* I'm not) "Doomsday" Donny McDoogle will definitely bring the Thunder to match Benoit's Lightning! Doomsday lives and fights like the Apocalypse! He knocks you out or occasionally has the table turned. One thing we know is this fight is not going the three rounds! THE BELL RINGS!!! Benoit comes out with a lunging right hand that just misses and McDoogle counters with a straight right! OH WOW! Benoit appears to have been cut already! Benoit is stunned but gets right back after his opponent! He misses with a right and a combo! Benoit throws a lazy uppercut and McDoogle counters with a body shot! Doomsday then digs another hook into Benoit's ribs! BOOM! Benoit lands a heavy combo and McDoogle McDrops! Benoit stands back and gestues to McDoogle he wants to keep this on its feet! McDoogle stands and Benoit swarms!!! McDoogle is bleeding and the crowd is on its feet cheering the action! Benoit drops back, Locks and Loads and Launches a Superman Punch that lands right on McDoogle's jaw!!! McDoogle's McDone for tonight!!! Your winner at 0:28 on the first round . . ."The Canadian Bad Boy" Bobby Benoit!!!

Next Up, we have some serious Featherweight Contenders looking for a shot at the title!

Rafael Suez vs Urijah "McNuggets" Faber

Suez brings his usual Ground Game Nastiness! He has an effective stand-up game, but if you dare go to the mat with him, bring a pillow because you are going to Sleep!!! Excellent Wrestling and a Dirty Brown Belt make him a true force to be reckoned with! Faber brings a very similar resume and skill set to the table tonight! These titans could almost be twins! Or Brothers! But if so, Momma won't be happy, because both fighters look eager to De-Limb one another! THE BELL RINGS!!! Suez pushes forward and gets Faber in a clinch! Faber seems to already be thinking about taking this to the ground! Suez lands a glancing elbow! Faber trades him a hook to the head for his efforts! Suez lands a knee to the head!

OH THIS COULD BE TROUBLE FOR FABER!!! Suez tries to Rain Pain and instead Faber shimmies back to Regain!!! Half Guard that is! Suez pressing and wedging in a forearm choke! And then to a Kimura! Faber struggles but manages to free his arm! Suez is still working his ground and pound to some effect! Faber defends well, but blocking punches is going to win your anything but sore arms tomorrow morning son! Suez is dropping hammers and looking for holes! He tries to slide in a Kimura but Faber declines the invitation! Suez keeps buttering Faber's bread and shows his dominance this round! The Bell Rings! That's two rounds down, and Suez seems convincingly ahead on my scorecard!

"Mysterion" enters the Octagon tonight as the two-time defending Tapout or Passout Middleweight Champion!!! He has a undefeated record and is a Phenom without equal!!! McCormick brings All-World Muay Thai and almost equally Insane Wrestling! Even his Boxing and BJJ can barely be equaled in the world! I guarantee this is one Kenny that OH MY GOD you "CAN'T" Kill!
