Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy Paxton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chumbo Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Paxton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Advance Australia Fair. Banks has chosen Chumbo's Theme as his entrance music. 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.

And that's the end of the fight!
Ryan Felizberto comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Childs has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
