Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Hathaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClane has chosen Refuse/Resist as his entrance music. John McClane struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

I would just about give that final round to Luis Alberto Perez.
Well Perez has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Patrick Alders scores the fight 28:30
Judge Paulsen Ambrosius scores the fight 28:29
Judge Radbod Blank scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Luis Alberto Perez!
A less than humble Luis Alberto Perez misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.

Williams comes to the ring accompanied by Hollywood Undead - Been to Hell . Silva is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sandstorm.
