Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kai Diao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ross Woods (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diao comes into the arena with 半斤八兩 blaring out of the sound system. 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 Ross Woods was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sambo Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael The Count (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robinson's entrance music is DJ Dee Kline - I don't smoke da reefa. A fine choice. The Count comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The streets don't love you no more!!! kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! On his way into the cage it seems that Sambo Robinson has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sambo Robinson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rickhard Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiago Silvain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silvain is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Eminem - You Don't Know ft. 50 Cent, Cashis, Lloyd Banks. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
