Bisping & Cane.

Its a coin Flip lol, but pretty good for 11-1 odds.

R1 - Both fighters are looking focussed. They exchange single low kicks and punches. The crowd is really behind Etim. Etim throws a nice jab on the back foot that connects. They both want to stand and trade. Etim slightly more agressive. Stout connects a nice left body hook then left hook to the head. Etim throws a nioce high kick that connects and is nearly caught. The two remain in the centre of the cage. Good head movement from both. Etim is looking comfortable, working wll on the back foot, coming into the pocket and back out. He is checking Stout's low kicks and replying with his own. A left from Stout drops Etim but he's up in a flash. Etim lands a clean superman punch and then as he retreats with Stout throwing punches that aren't effective, he attempts a take down. The round is over with Etim looking more in control.
