Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Halo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pope kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is For Whom The Bell Tolls. Halo has chosen I am a Nightmare Walking as his entrance music. 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.

Näkäräinen scores with a couple of nice shots to the head there. The referee takes a look at Sibelius to see if he's OK.
A control attempt from Sibelius but he's now mounted!
Näkäräinen moves to the back.
That's nine minutes gone in the round.
Sibelius breaks Näkäräinen's hooks off and manages to turn into his guard.
Näkäräinen has his feet on Sibelius's thighs here. He's pushed Sibelius off and worked for a very quick armbar from the bottom! He's flipped onto his stomach and he's cranking hard on the arm! Sibelius screams in pain and taps out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 9:31 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Pikku Näkäräinen!
Pikku Näkäräinen is the new lightweight champion!
Pikku Näkäräinen seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
