Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the bantamweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of

0 - 0 - 0, fighting out of New York, Leighton Baines! The judges for this bout are Joseph Jones, Anthony Taglia and Columbo Gatti.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Baines misses with a left hand and Kata moves into the clinch. Kata displaying some good clinch control by pressing Baines up against the cage. Kata stalling the fight.
Kata pushes off and circles away, back to the middle of the mat. Kata changes levels and drives through with a really nice takedown into side control. Baines looks really pissed at himself for not defending that better. Kata throws a strike aimed at the side of Baines's head but Baines avoids it well. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Baines is sneaking out the side here. He's bucked Kata off and has taken his back! Kata could do with losing a few pounds - he looks very soft around the mid section, to put it politely. Baines looking for the choke from the back. Kata might be looking to lock onto one of his opponent's long limbs for a submission, whilst we're on the ground. Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show! Baines is working on the RNC. He looks like he's got it but Kata won't tap... Oh, he's out! The ref rips Baines off his unconscious opponent!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (RNC). Leighton Baines!
