Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Breno Belmiro (ranked 1082 p4p, 1018 weight class) and Rodri Yairguez (ranked 98 p4p, 93 weight class). Yairguez has chosen El Corrido De Chihuahua - Los Rieleros Del Norte as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

It looks like Jim Lahey has been cut.
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Lahey get stunned by a cross and takes another one on the button. Lahey stumbles backwards and tries to bounce back off the cage but Monroe runs in and jumps on him with a leaping lead hook that puts him out! Wow, that was highlight reel stuff! Awesome finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:50 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Francesco Monroe!
Francesco Monroe spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
