Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Martino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Murray Bookchin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martino comes to the cage accompanied by DMX - Intro (One Two) . Bookchin has chosen Suicide Machines - Islands as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Charles Martino!
Charles Martino retains his light heavyweight title!
Charles Martino very nearly forgot to thank Alpha Nutrition HIGHEST QUALITY ON THE ISLAND amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
