Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daisuke Suzuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kin Ring Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suzuki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sackett's choice of entrance music: (I'm not your) steppin' stone . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Lomax throws a nice outside leg kick.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Clint Lomax.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Lomax, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Curtis Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gaisafa Masoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones comes into the arena with Who Dat by Young Jeezy blaring out of the sound system. Masoe has chosen Bang On by Boo Yaa Tribe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
