Jeffrey Franklin had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 273.6, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Teddy Greenburg was cancelled. |

Legrand has an Americana. Fobbs didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Legrand is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Legrand hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:21 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Americana). Fernand Legrand!
