Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Paul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorma Potku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paul's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lick It Up. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Guns looking to try and escape his hips here, looking for a submission. It looks like he's going for a triangle but Mendoza Reyes is defending well. Guns quickly switches to an armbar and extends the arm! Mendoza Reyes has no choice but to tap, to a very quick submission! Wow, that was lightning fast! Guns celebrates on the cage, with the crowd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:56 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Rudi Guns!
Rudi Guns is the new featherweight champion!
