Interesting... I would have thought Manny Pacquiao would have fought at Bantamweight had he ever made the transition

In recent fights Pacquiao fought between 140 lbs and 145 lbs, his last fight at 135 lbs, was in 2008, that's why I put it in the Featherweight, but I plan on a super fight with Dominick Cruz.

There's a double leg attempt from Singh, from the pocket. Default tries to strike first with a solid right hook, but isn't quick enough. Default cannot stop the takedown, and has to pull guard. Singh tries to pass the guard. Default comfortably blocks the attempt and keeps Singh in guard. Singh gets pushed back thanks to a butterfly guard, and Default quickly scrambles. Singh seizes the opportunity, Default was too slow and gets caught in side control. We move into the second half of this round. Singh tries to ensnare Default in an arm triangle. The arm triangle is locked in, tight enough that Default has to tap out!

Gurvinder Singh takes the win by submission!

Team Orange get a victory us Featherweight.

At the moment, the Middleweight Team Orange and Team Green tie for 1x1.

While in Featherweight, Team Orange managed 2x0.
