Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rambaa Somdet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Schecter Engl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Somdet might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Venom - " Nightmare " . Engl has chosen Trafalgar - Requiem for the Last King as his entrance music. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dave Suraski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BJ Veb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Veb's choice of entrance music: Damian Marley ft Nas - Road to Zion. 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 BJ Veb was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
