Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Shamrock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thunder strike. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tuten Heimer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Parker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to fuck. Heimer has chosen Kenny G - The Movement as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Peter Parker could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tuten Heimer's chin.
