Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Johny Vargas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert DeSalvo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vargas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drake - Trophies. DeSalvo has chosen Am I Evil? 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 0:41 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Ramon Gracie!
Ramon Gracie is the new welterweight champion!
Ramon Gracie decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
