Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sam James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Austin Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think James might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rick Astley- Never gonna give you up. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Grayson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lord Humungus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grayson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne. Humungus has chosen My Speech as his entrance music. Lord Humungus is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
