Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Peter Lowey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lowey's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Land Down Under. Mike Freeman struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Peter Lowey has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

A short left from McStrapon.
And that's the end of the fight!
Jock McStrapon comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well McStrapon 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.
