Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marion Cobretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Apollo Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cobretti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Robert Tepper - Angel of the City. Apollo Creed will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

And that's the end of the fight!
Marion Cobretti showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Creed has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Apollo Creed!
