Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ola John (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vesa Sykk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sykk has chosen Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name 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 Vesa Sykk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Sykk has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think John should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Sykk has tightened it up now! John should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Vesa Sykk!
An out of breath Vesa Sykk thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michel Teló (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Parmalee Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teló kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Michel Telo - Ai se eu te pego. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sackett's choice of entrance music: RATM: Know Your Enemy. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
