Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Prophet Mohammed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taisto Tappura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mohammed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stupid music. Tappura has chosen Ring of fire as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Pentti Hirvonen.
I think Hirvonen has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Frank Antenori scores the fight 47:49
Judge Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 46:49
Judge Don Winkell scores the fight 46:49
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Pentti Hirvonen!
Our winner, Pentti Hirvonen, 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.
