Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Cash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Spencer Fisher JR (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cash comes into the arena with Manhunt Theme blaring out of the sound system. Spencer Fisher JR struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The key to victory for Jimmy Cash has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Cash has his foot on Fisher JR's thigh. He's trying to push off and get in position for a triangle, I think. Fisher JR works his way back into a safe position though.
Fisher JR is trying to work a guillotine from the top, or something like that? Don't know how he thinks he's going to get a finish from there.
Cash had isolated an arm as going for a kimura. Fisher JR defends it easily.
Cash has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Fisher JR should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Cash has tightened it up now! Fisher JR should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:01 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Jimmy Cash!
