Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sydney Fields (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harald Treutiger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harald Treutiger struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.8lbs 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. 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.

Wonka throws a knee to the body but it doesn't do much damage.
Wonka is working to tighten is grip on Jackson's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Jackson has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Wonka is really squeezing tight and eventually Jackson passes out! Wonka breaks the hold and jumps onto the ropes to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:04 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Willie Wonka!
Willie Wonka is the new light heavyweight champion!
