Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rorny Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bittersweet Symphony. McDonald has chosen March of Cambreadth as his entrance music. Eddie McDonald will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Seamus OShaughnessy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). OShaughnessy comes to the cage accompanied by Black Friday Rule by Flogging Molly. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bishop's choice of entrance music: Dayglo Abortions - F***...... 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 Billy Bishop was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
