Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joe Camel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson has chosen 'Trapped Under Ice' by Metallica as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Cane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hannibal Hatfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cane's entrance music is Alice In Chains - Man In The Box. A fine choice. Hatfield is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Flirtin With Disaster. 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.
