Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Debito Arudou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damian Munroe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Arudou might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thief. Debito Arudou had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt Porter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sparing Bjj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Porter comes to the ring accompanied by Oh Lets Do It by Wacka Flocka Flame. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bjj's choice of entrance music: 50 cent feat. eminem, cashis & lloyd banks - You don't know. Sparing Bjj told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
