Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gregor Marek (ranked 58 p4p, 72 weight class) and Aleks Nik (ranked 8 p4p, 10 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Gregor Marek has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Gregor Marek seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Oscar Meyer has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
Meyer takes a shot right to the liver - Bas would have been proud of that punch.
And that's the end of the fight!
Charlie Hall showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Hall, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Paulsen Ambrosius scores the fight 30:25
Judge Wagner Zegers scores the fight 30:27
Judge Paul Aken scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Charlie Hall!
Charlie Hall decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
