Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luna Lovelace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ziggy Vondopoulos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lovelace's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Watson refuses to tap and goes to sleep, forcing the referee to intervene. A little trickle of blood came out of Watson's nose as his head slumped to the floor. That is naaaasty!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:27 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Veijo Unski!
