Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Javier Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez's entrance music is Music. A fine choice. On his way into the ring it seems that Javier Lopez has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Javier Lopez seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
jan shoots for a takedown but Glass saw that one coming a mile off and avoided it easily.
Glass gets taken down but at least he's managed to land in guard.
jan drops back for a leg here. A bit of a high risk move... He's looking for a kneebar by the looks of things. Now both of them are looking for submissions. jan seems to have locked his on tight now - Glass screams in pain and taps out furiously! It certainly was a high risk move but it's paid off for jan, as he picks up the win!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kneebar). john jan!
