Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Padilla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jagger Cyde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Padilla comes to the cage accompanied by Not Afraid - EMINEM. Cyde has chosen Papa Roach - Time Is Running Out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jagger Cyde was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

boy thows a left - swing and a miss!
Oh boy is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
boy tries to get into range but Rivera steps to the side and lands a beautiful hook that drops boy! He's faceplanted into the mat, ass in the air... he's out cold! That's an image he won't want to show his grandkids when he gets older! Rivera scores the big KO victory!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:27 of round 3, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Juancho Rivera!
