Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johann Bruno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Marron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Greg Marron was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kari Peippo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Peippo's choice of entrance music: Public Enemy - Terminator X to the Edge of Panic . 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.
