Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jarbas Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Gonzaga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Bully takes a shot to the body in his stride.
Bully has his hands up protecting his head but a hook from Czech finds it's way round the side to connect with Bully's head.
Czech drops Bully with a straight right hand, right on the button! Czech follows him down to the mat and pounds him out with hammerfists until the referee jumps in to end the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:01 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Peter Czech!
Peter Czech is the new light heavyweight champion!
A very excited looking Peter Czech made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
