All right, what most of this arena is here for, the MMA debut of Cung Le, facing off against Mike Altman. This is a rematch from San Shou (which Cung Le won). Cung Le has been training with Garth Taylor to work on his ground game for the past year and has been coming along well. Mike Altman has been working on his ground game as well, but is primarily a striker. What are we going to see here?

Crowd reaction is HUGE for Cung Le. Plenty of Viet Nam flags here. Cung Le is quite possibly the most popular martial artist in the Bay Area.

Round one begins after referee Cecil Peoples gives instructions. Cung Le misses with a kick and the crowd goes nuts. Another one connects to Altman's side. Fighters circling. Cung Le kicking to the body. Cung Le with a side kick, Altman responds with a body blow. Not sure if either fighter has the intention of going to the ground. Altman slips a punch past Cung Le's defenses. Cung Le scores a loud (but not damaging shot). Spinning back kick attempt by Cung Le, then another, Altman defends well. Cung Le with a left jab right high kick that causes the sweat to fly off of Altman. Cung Le more agressive, bick shot to the chin, Altman is OUT! Cung Le by KO!

Official time is 3:51 of the first round by KO, Cung Le.

The official North American Attendence Record has been set with 18, 265 in attendence! This shatters the previous record of 14, 274 set by the UFC.

Next up is Frank Shamrock vs Cesar Gracie.

I can barely believe this is about to happen.

Round begins. Very short feeling out. Frank Shamrock by KO in under 10 seconds. Waiting for the offical time.

On the replay a right hook to Cesar's temple rocked him, Cesar fell back and Frank fired off five or six more shots to end the match. Official time is 21 seconds into round one, by KO, Frank Shamrock.

Post speech from Frank, declaring this is his house. Not sure if Cesar realizes he was knocked out. Crowd filters out.

Just in time, my battery is about to go out. Thanks for following everyone, I'm going to get myself a beer.
