Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hoban Washburn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Corrida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Shadowhunter kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Hoban Washburn has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Hoban Washburn seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Patrick Jane comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Jane has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Jonathan Paton scores the fight 28:29

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Patrick Jane!
Patrick Jane really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that - - - - - All Nutrients 160 - - - - - logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
