Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seth Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martin comes to the ring accompanied by Bodies Drowing Pool. Frank Martin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. On his way into the ring it seems that Frank Martin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Frank Martin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Chris Frank is looking to keep the fight on the feet at all costs.
That's one minute gone in the round.
Frank feints a jab and as Pierre dips his head, Frank unleashes a brutal head kick that catches Pierre right on the jaw! Timbeeer! Pierre falls backwards in slow motion, only propped up by the ropes! Frank smiles a psychotic smile as he stares down his unconscious opponent. That is a scary man.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:06 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Chris Frank!
Chris Frank retains his middleweight title!
During a confident post fight interview, Chris Frank thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
