Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Itachi Uchiha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Zabijaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uchiha kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgARus5JFQY. Zabijaka has chosen Toony - Los (Feat. Pih & Fabuła) as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
Crim is looking for a takedown. Wow, that's a brutal slam - Dourado is in big trouble! Crim is landing strikes from the mount and this one is all over! The ref jumps in to save a confused looking Dourado. Poor guy.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:45 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Slam). Rudell Crim!
