Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mortimer Bob Holley (ranked 3163 p4p, 119 weight class) and Mark Lesnar (ranked 3011 p4p, 112 weight class). Holley comes to the cage accompanied by Grillmasters - Sizzling. 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 Mark Lesnar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Fury has an Americana. Lono didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Fury is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Fury hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:45 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Drake Fury!
Drake Fury is the new heavyweight champion!
Drake Fury decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
