Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antoni Koscielski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Mighty Quinn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koscielski's entrance music is Bone Thugs n Harmony - Thuggish Ruggish Bone . A fine choice. Quinn is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mighty Quinn. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Nice jab there from Fretwell.
Jones knocks out Fretwell with a massive right hand! The ref tackles Jones before he can follow up with any more strikes and that's it everyone. Jones picks up the big W with a huge KO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Tom Jones! Tom Jones retains his light heavyweight title!
Tom Jones decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
