Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Proudstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stack Shillings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Proudstar's entrance music is On the Warpath. A fine choice. Shillings has chosen UGK - Diamonds and Wood (Chopped and Screwed) 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 Stack Shillings was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Like a drunk walking down the middle of the road, the inevitable face plant follows and the delayed knockout arrives. Even Shillings can't help but laugh at the bizarre end to this one!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:10 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Stack Shillings!
Stack Shillings is the new super heavyweight champion!
Stack Shillings decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
