Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Hurt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Mantell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Martinez is trying desperately to land a takedown but the Great is having absolutely none of it. This is turning into a bit of a nightmare for Martinez.
the Great rushes forward with a series of wild hooks but Martinez moves out of range and avoids them all easily.
Martinez tries for a takedown but the Great circles away easily
and the Great counters with a huge left! Martinez is in big trouble! He's backing up but the Great isn't giving him chance to recover. Under a barage of punches the ref has to step in to save Martinez from any more damage. A dominating finish by the Great!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:48 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Constantine I the Great!
