Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carlitos Bootski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Avtandil Gamsakhurdia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlitos Bootski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.1lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Gene avoids the attempt from Ovronnaz to control.
Ovronnaz is working to get back to half guard.
And that's the end of the fight!
Levi Gene comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Gene has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Timothy Bukovac scores the fight 27:30
Judge Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 26:30
Judge Suge Night scores the fight 26:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Levi Gene!
