Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shamar Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phoenix Valentine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes to the cage accompanied by Freak on a Leash. Valentine is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain. On his way into the cage it seems that Shamar Jackson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Shamar Jackson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Peitexeira is throwing a storm of strikes! Right hook, left hook and follows it up with a spinning back fist! Komodo hits the canvas like a rag doll! And just like that, this one is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:06 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Augostino Peitexeira!
Our winner, Augostino Peitexeira, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
