Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Doctor Greenthumb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akaki Marjanishvili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Marjanishvili's choice of entrance music: Sabaton - Panzerkampf. Doctor Greenthumb had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.7lbs, 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. Doctor Greenthumb has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Xanther Xaimoungkhoun has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Dabrowski should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Xanther Xaimoungkhoun has tightened it up now! Dabrowski should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Xavier Xanther Xaimoungkhoun!
A determined Xavier Xanther Xaimoungkhoun didn't want to dwell on this fight in his post fight interview. Instead he was more keen to state he wants a title shot. Let's see if he gets it!
