Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cedric Simard (ranked 477 p4p, 2322 weight class) and Jeronimo Puno (ranked 67 p4p, 258 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Puno's choice of entrance music: RAGS 2 RICHES. On his way into the cage it seems that Cedric Simard has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cedric Simard seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Lancaster decides to stand back up. Lancaster steps back and let's Lomax get back to his feet.
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Lancaster steps in with a hook that catches Lomax right on the chin and knocks him to the floor! Lancaster follows him down with more strikes and that's all she wrote! Lomax looks absolutely devastated.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:47 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Oliver Lancaster!
Oliver Lancaster retains his light heavyweight title!
In defeat, Vincent Lomax stepped up to the mic, saying 'God dammit'.
