Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jakob Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gudleifur Bjarnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samuel De Lucas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darth Vader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Lucas comes to the cage accompanied by Apaga mais năo bate. 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 Darth Vader was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
