Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Guy Owen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Benevides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Donnie O Brien (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alberto Diagana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Brien comes to the cage accompanied by Rocky Road to Dublin. Diagana is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Judas Priest - Painkiller. 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.
