Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Elvis Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Poulter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frost's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, WALKING IN MEMPHIS. On his way into the cage it seems that Elvis Frost has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Elvis Frost seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Frost goes to throw a finishing haymaker but pulls out - good sportsmanship from Frost because Poulter was completely out of it. That was a nice finish - just the right level of brutality to send everyone home happy.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:59 of round 5, we have a winner by way of TKO (Knee). Elvis Frost!
Elvis Frost is the new heavyweight champion!
Elvis Frost decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
