Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dante Castillion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Emerson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Castillion kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Ink Spots - I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire. Emerson has chosen Laurent Wolf - No Stress as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Black Belt Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by In The Morning. Bundy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Violate You--Chino XL. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
