Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Squid Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zhen Ji (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Squid Ward had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Visnadi not doing a lot at the moment. He'll have to show some more aggression or the fight will get stood up.
And that's the end of the fight!
Gianni Visnadi comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Visnadi 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.
