Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Benigno Aquino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Donelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donelly has chosen Jump Around as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Joseph Donelly was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Kirby lands an uppercut.
Kirby throws a big uppercut that drops Sau Yee! More strikes from Kirby and the referee jumps in to stop the fight! Sau Yee lies dazed against the cage as Kirby celebrates with his cornermen!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:13 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Stone Kirby!
An intense looking Stone Kirby took to the microphone post fight and gave a little speech: 'I won the last fight too. I'm glad I came with my game face and won this one too! Much love to my fans!'.
