OK, now that we got all the details out of the way let me break down the fight card for you. I will be skipping the 0-0 and the kickboxing to save some time. This will be the exact fight order of how it will happen at the event. Warchild and I will be attending the show and reporting to you all live.

Then the fight resumed and Austin ended up getting the win by ko/tko. Years have gone by and both fighters are now ready to go at it again and I see this one being just like the first time a crazy back and forth ground battle.
