Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chad Reilly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Irvin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reilly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Frontline-Pillar. Irvin has chosen Undead as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chad Reilly has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

The crowd are hurling abuse towards the fighters... You can hardly blame them though because there isn't a lot going on in the fight.
Hughes seems keen to control rather than go for a submission, at least for now.
Well, the referee has seen enough. Neither fighter is active enough on the ground so he's stood them back up.
Headden feints and then dives in with a takedown. That was a long way out but the feint bought him enough time to close the distance and complete the takedown. Now we'll play guard for a bit and see who can get the better of that position.
Hughes wants to get back to his feet but Headden is in a dominant position and won't allow it.
Hughes looking to sweep here. No luck so far.
Steve Headden has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
