Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matias Alderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Romano S (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alderson comes to the cage accompanied by Dark moon High tide. 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 Romano S was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Severi Suhonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Guns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Suhonen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lentävä Kalakukko. Severi Suhonen could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Leroy Guns's chin.
