Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodrigo Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pat Beaulieu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Beaulieu's choice of entrance music: Anonymus - Prosternez-vous. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Pat Beaulieu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Dempsey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raymond Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dempsey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to On the Eve of War - Jedi Mind Tricks. Crowe has chosen Einherjer - Odin Owns Ye All as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
