Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Django Ripa (ranked 2892 p4p, 276 weight class) and Mack Smith (ranked 3153 p4p, 292 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ripa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to American Woman. Smith has chosen Choices as his entrance music.

Ramos is rocked!
Scorpion connects with a quick right hand that sends Ramos tumbling backwards onto the canvas! As his head bounces into the ropes, it doesn't look good for him beating the count! 3,4,5,6,7 and he's up! No, he's back down again! This one is all over - the referee has called off the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:38 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punch). Silva Scorpion!
The defeated Jacinto Ramos had this to say: 'Big heart, determined '.
