Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chris Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiny Mondello (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griffin comes to the cage accompanied by Sail by AWOLNATION. Chris Griffin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.9lbs, 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. Chris Griffin has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

and Hunt counters with a lovely straight right hand!
This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff!
Hunt drops Mazric with a hook right on the temple. He thinks about going to the ground but Mazric looks back up at him and smiles so Hunt waves him back to his feet - he obviously thinks he can knock him out after that shot landed.
Mazric is rocked!
Hunt weaves into range and cracks Mazric right on the temple with a beautiful overhand right! Mazric goes down! He's out cold! Wow, what a beautiful knockout! Hunt is strutting round the canvas like a movie star as the camera bulbs flash frantically.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Hairik Hunt!
A relieved looking Hairik Hunt thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
