Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Magomedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Searlas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Makahlen Gorbachoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kickin Rad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rad has chosen Kids Of The K-Hole as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Rad scores with a decent looking elbow strike.
That's four minutes gone in the round.
Rad stands over his opponent and dives in with a flying punch! Gorbachoff throws up his legs and catches Rad in a triangle! Oh this looks tight! Rad tries to escape but he's forced to tap! Wow, fantastic work there by Gorbachoff! That came out of nowhere!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:20 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Makahlen Gorbachoff!
During a confident post fight interview, Makahlen Gorbachoff thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
