Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Goran Spaten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ikuhisa Minowaman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spaten's entrance music is Knockin Boots by Candyman. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:57 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). George Costanza!
