Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Donnie Darko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manolo Sam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sam comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hells Bells kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Manolo Sam was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Pochettino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gang of Four - I love a Man in Uniform. Tommy Kane could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Matt Pochettino's chin.
