Well I reckon that's a shut out for Foster, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gunner Malone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Block (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malone comes to the cage accompanied by Jimmy Hendrix - Vodoo Child. 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 Christian Block was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
