Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Albert Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saenchai Sor Kingstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mama Said Knock You Out. Saenchai Sor Kingstar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tarzan Taborda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cloud Strife (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taborda comes into the arena with New Noise by Refused blaring out of the sound system. Strife has chosen One Winged Angel by The Black Mages as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Cloud Strife has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
