Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Richard Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Worsely (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinez comes to the cage accompanied by Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven. 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 Mark Worsely was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Mrs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kaarlo Vihtala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mrs comes to the cage accompanied by I'm sexy and I know it by LMFAO. Vihtala has chosen Pohjois-Karjala 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.
