Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richard Cottingham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Cabral (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Richard Cottingham had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Little working aggressively here.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Omar Little.
I think Kelley has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vit Tu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blanket on the ground. Steele is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cinderella Man. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Vit Tu really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Milwaukee's Best 160 (80% laundry) logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
