Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juan Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Haile Selassie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzalez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Entre Dos Aguas. The crowd seem to be enjoying Selassie's choice of entrance music: Welcome to Jamrock - Damian Marley. 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.

Reyes is working from a closed guard but he's struggling to control his opponent.
scolar wants to stand up, so he's looking to wriggle free of Reyes's closed guard. He's half up but Reyes has locked on to an arm! Uh oh! Reyes pivots and extends the arm, scolar falls face first to the mat and taps??... does he?? YES! He's tapping! Excellent counter grappling there by Reyes! Well done that man!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:36 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Christopher Reyes!
Christopher Reyes retains his middleweight title!
