Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Janjak Boran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Osiris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boran might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lief Klein Konijntje. Osiris has chosen Deicide - Angels of Hell as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Eric Osiris is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Pembelton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blaze Bailey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pembelton comes into the arena with Hail Mary by Tupac blaring out of the sound system. Bailey comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Eminem - Lose Yourself kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Andre lands a jab. Then a cross. Then finally a nice hook to the body. Good work there by Andre.
McLean is rocked!
McLean walks into a straight right, dropping him to the canvas! Andre swarms him and finishes the fight with a hail of punches! What a brutal finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:47 of round 3, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Alex Andre!
Alex Andre is the new featherweight champion!
Alex Andre seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
