Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roy Maltive (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randolf Brox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maltive's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Show Me What You Got. Brox is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Godsmack - Cryin' Like A Bitch!! . 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.

And that's the end of the fight!
Piero Vischi comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Vischi winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Cecil Peabody scores the fight 44:50
Judge Alan Glass scores the fight 44:50
Judge Stewart Dunkirk scores the fight 44:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Piero Vischi! Piero Vischi retains his light heavyweight title!
