Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Artur Tamm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riley Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tamm might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Seth Sentry - Hell Boy. Artur Tamm had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Artur Tamm has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the middleweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of
2 - 0 - 0, fighting out of Sydney, Artur Tamm! And introducing the fighter to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of
2 - 1 - 0, fighting out of Hilo, Riley Gracie ! The judges for this bout are Micheangelo Fripello, Josh West and Paul Gruel.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Tamm stuffs the takedown. Tamm stuffs a takedown. It's all about dictating where the fight takes place and Tamm wants it to stay on the feet. Tamm gets a takedown into half guard. Tamm looking to pass the half guard. Not this time. Gracie moves into full guard.
Gracie is a painfully thin specimen of a man. You do wonder whether a good body kick would snap him clean in two. Gracie is working from a closed guard but he's struggling to control his opponent. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Gracie is looking to cinch up a triangle. Tamm throws the leg off to one side though and gets in tight to Gracie 's body to avoid the submission. Gracie has instead reached around Tamm's neck and now has a guillotine! Oh, this is biiiig trouble! Gracie arches his back and squeezes and forces the tap from his hapless opponent.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Riley Gracie !
