Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between My Time (ranked 1802 p4p, 2309 weight class) and Jake Reaper (ranked 124 p4p, 161 weight class). My Time had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Man, I cannot wait for this one!

Bleak has been looking to land a fair amount of strikes on the ground. He might be looking to soften his opponent up in order to work for a submission.
That's one minute gone in the round.
Bleak throws a sloppy strike and Roll has hooked up an armbar on the loose arm! He's turned and extended fully! Bleak is forced to tap! Great BJJ from Roll!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:28 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Rokken Roll!
After winning the bout, Rokken Roll thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
The defeated Darsin Bleak had this to say: 'Good luck in the future, Panic. I'm ending my life tonight.'.
