Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Gerrie Schutte (ranked 5499 p4p, 491 weight class) and Mark Pearson (ranked 5777 p4p, 506 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Dalei is rocked!
Svoboda creates a bit of space for himself and unleashed what can only be described as a tiger uppercut, straight out of Street Fighter! Dalei crashes to the mat! Can he make it back to his feet in time? 3,4,5,6... it doesn't look like he's going to make it! Dalei face plants back to the mat and the referee calls off the fight! Svoboda takes it with a brutal technical knockout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:46 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punch). Karlos Svoboda!
