Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cory Araujo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomes has chosen Juelz Santana - Murda Murda as his entrance music. Cory Araujo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.

The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
Arealius connects nicely with a jab. Noted by the judges no doubt.
Arealius connects with a nice cross there... Penna is looking wobbly and Arealius recognises it - he's rushed in and lands two more brutal shots that send Penna to the canvas, out cold! A brutal finish to the fight - Arealius jumps onto the ropes to celebrate with the crowd!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:19 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Anthony Arealius!
Anthony Arealius is the new middleweight champion!
