Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Lyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Humphry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lyle comes into the arena with Sick Puppies-Youre going down blaring out of the sound system. Humphry has chosen Iggy And The Stooges - as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 G Kar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Dignam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kar comes into the arena with Feed the Fire blaring out of the sound system. Dignam has chosen Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
