Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jari Mountain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Alucard Darkim.
I think Thorhalla has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
