PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Black Leben (ranked 611 p4p, 776 weight class) and Jacinto Cruz (ranked 72 p4p, 92 weight class). Leben comes to the cage accompanied by Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jacinto Cruz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Cruz tried to land a shot to the body but connects with Leben's elbow.

Leben breaks the clinch and we're back to striking at distance.

And that's the end of the fight!
Black Leben showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Leben has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Daniel Franklin scores the fight 49:47
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 50:45
Judge Alan Glass scores the fight 48:48

In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Black Leben!

A victorious Black Leben thanked his army of followers in his post fight interview, telling people to make sure they follow him on Twitter.
