Ben Saunders vs.
Marcus Davis, the second of two bouts on tonight's Spike TV card.

The live blog begins below.
Round 1: Davis and Saunders clinch against the cage early, but neither man lands much. Saunders gets the clinch and lands knees. Davis tries a trip takedown, but fails. Saunders, at 6-foot-3, towers over Davis, who appears intent on staying on the inside. Davis is cut from a knee. Saunders gets another clinch and adds more knees. Saunders' reach advantage connects from the outside. Another clinch and Saunders lands a pair of devastating knees that put Davis out. This is the first time Davis has been KO'd.
Winner: Saunders via KO
