That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Denton Thunder.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tj Cummings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfie Norks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cummings's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Misfits - Die Die My Darling . Norks has chosen Like a G6 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.
