Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Masterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cement Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masterson comes to the cage accompanied by Stinkfist. On his way into the cage it seems that Bruno Masterson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bruno Masterson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Buster is trying to work for a kimura but Williams is defending well.
Buster in half guard on the top. He's looking for a kimura... He's got it locked and he's managed to free his trapped foot. Williams tries to escape but it's on too tight and he has to tap! Great BJJ skills there from Buster!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:49 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Kimura). Potemkin Buster! Potemkin Buster retains his light heavyweight title!
