That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Halibut Halibut.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Halibut, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Jooginz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Arlovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jooginz comes to the cage accompanied by Break some shit. Arlovski is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bodies by Drowning Pool. 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.
