Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brayden Point (ranked 10 p4p, 2 weight class) and Friedrich Alzheimer (ranked 25 p4p, 6 weight class). Point's entrance music is Roots Reggae Music. A fine choice. Alzheimer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Worlds Greatest. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Friedrich Alzheimer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
A low kick from Alzheimer is predictable there
and Point counters with a beautiful right hand that knocks Alzheimer out cold! What a finish! Point is going crazy, running around the mat, summersaulting off the corner posts and screaming into the cameras. Something tells me he's pretty happy!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:06 of round 4, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Brayden Point!
Brayden Point decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
