Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Stanley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thyre Wilkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilkins has chosen Combichrist - Deathbed 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 Thyre Wilkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cheez Itz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Theodore Arsene Peroche (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Itz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to do you really want to hurt me. Peroche is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Down with the sickness. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
