Tsosie breaks the hold and jumps onto the ropes to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!

I think Antoine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blackout. Carter Antoine has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sione Makatua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reno Raines (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Raines has chosen The Gambler as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
