Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Craig Freese (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freese comes to the cage accompanied by I'm Sexy And I Know It. 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 Chris Matthews was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Mir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam McKay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mir kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Spoilin For A Fight . McKay has chosen Noah Doctor - Better call him now, lol 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Faze Wrecker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wrecker comes into the arena with AC/DC - Chase the Ace blaring out of the sound system. Miller has chosen Battle of Japan - Final Showdown 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.
