Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Billy Curry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Nobriga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Curry comes to the cage accompanied by Billy the Mountain. Nobriga has chosen Queen's We Will Rock You 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 Max Nobriga was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

And that's the end of the fight!
Kyle Klinger comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Klinger winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Columbo Gatti scores the fight 26:30
Judge Joseph Jones scores the fight 26:30
Judge Bruno Lombardi scores the fight 26:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Kyle Klinger!
