Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phil Ivey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Metaxa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivey's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Friday. Metaxa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by •99• The Haunted🔫. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Jeez, Samor Kanen's cut is really nasty now. The referee must be thinking about getting that checked.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Samor Kanen's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:55 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Hjalmar Soderberg!
Hjalmar Soderberg is the new light heavyweight champion!
An intense looking Hjalmar Soderberg took to the microphone post fight and gave a little speech: 'That's a nice belt you've got there, Kanen...I think I'll keep it! Heja Sverige!!'.
