Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Goss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Kimmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goss might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sybreed: Emma-0. Kimmo has chosen Roni Size-Bite The Bullet as his entrance music. Joseph Goss has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba Gump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nathaniel Forrester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
