Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tony Bova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyjoto Maskida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Uriah Heath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seamus OShaughnessy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
