Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Black Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Alexio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Belt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory. 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 Danny Alexio was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Grigoriy Rasputin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elmeri Hautamaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hautamaki has chosen Nekromantix-Generation 666 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 Elmeri Hautamaki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
