Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rich Corleone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Crewe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corleone comes to the cage accompanied by With the Punches - Keep It Going. Crewe has chosen The Longest Yard as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eulogy Spoakin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spoakin comes to the cage accompanied by Scarface ft Devin The Dude - Hand Of The Dead Body. Perry has chosen In Time as his entrance music. 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 Shawn Perry was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
