Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ahmad Durrani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Cole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Ahmad Durrani has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ahmad Durrani seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Horse content to control rather than advance.
The fighters are pressed up against the cage, both looking to find a bit of space to work.
Horse seems to be looking for submissions.
Horse is taking a breather. Bodhidharma says something to him but it's hard to make out. Perhaps he's telling him to get on with it and actually do something.
Horse not throwing his punches with enough precision this time.
Bodhidharma trying to control here.
Horse in half guard on the top. He's looking for a kimura... He's got it locked and he's managed to free his trapped foot. Bodhidharma tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Horse!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Krazy Horse!
A victorious Krazy Horse thanked his army of followers in his post fight interview, telling people to make sure they follow him on Twitter.
