Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Cornish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gwyn Jones (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 Gwyn Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between David Giljotin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adrian Peterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Giljotin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ticon - Miss 11 PM (DJ CHILLER REMIX 2011) . Peterson has chosen Mastodon - Oblivion as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
