Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Eric Koch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marrell Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I'm So Raw. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Marrell Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Edgar is rocked!
Jelek Anjing seems to be the more aggressive standup fighter in this bout.
Edgar walks straight into a right hand from Anjing - that's dropped him! Anjing jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Edgar from any more punishment! Edgar complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:47 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Jelek Anjing!
Our winner, Jelek Anjing, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
