Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Timmey The Gangster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Mendes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mendes is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Steve McQueen. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aoki Kakashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Dellaria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kakashi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nas - Hate Me Now. Dellaria comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Kill or Become by CANNIBAL CORPSE kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

A combination from Krukowski does no damage.
Krukowski feints with a jab and clips Cropp right behind the ear with a massive overhand right! Cropp is sent crashing into the canvas and Krukowski leaps in for the kill! Cropp tries to get to his feet but Krukowski is just battering him from every conceivable angle. The ref decides that Cropp is in need of a savior and steps in!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:11 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Kevin Krukowski!
Kevin Krukowski tried to hype himself up post fight but didn't word it too well and it ended up with him sounding like a bit of a tool.
