Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Butch Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ro Nin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nin has chosen Hoi tho lui tan - Atmostphere as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Butch Baker has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Butch Baker seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

The fighters circling - T A throws out the jab but it was never going to land.
It's got to the stage where if one of these guys blows hard enough, the other might fall over.
T A throws a left jab followed by a right to the body, Oh Rourke colapses and takes a barrage of punches from T A as he moves to mount! the ref stops the fight and Rourke is left battered and dazed whilst T A and his camp cheer!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:58 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Timo T A!
Timo T A is the new middleweight champion!
