Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rex Bearden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Victorio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Victorio has chosen Massive Attack - Angel as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jonny Victorio was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Philips scores with the left hand. Gracie knows he should have avoided that one.
Philips closes the distance and lands a vicious right hand that drops Gracie! Philips dives in looking to finish! Gracie is still trying to defend himself but he's taking too many shots and the referee has no choice but to stop the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:38 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ray Philips! Ray Philips retains his heavyweight title!
