Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Holyfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Goodnight Irene (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holyfield's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RAWR. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Forest Gump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobrisio Herdum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Herdum is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Motorhead - Built for Speed. 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 Bobrisio Herdum was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ruiner Barnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cro Copout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnett's entrance music is canceled forever 125. A fine choice. Copout has chosen you throw knee, i go home as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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.

Copout is looking to take this fight into the clinch.
This has been an exciting period of action!
Barnett looks to score with a jab to the body but Copout is just out of range.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Cro Copout.
Well Copout has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Daniel Franklin scores the fight 28:29
Judge George Francis scores the fight 28:29
Judge Gwen Towbar scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Cro Copout!
Cro Copout bigged himself up after the win. The crowd seemed to love it.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Ares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hulk Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ares comes to the cage accompanied by r this town i 101. Hogan has chosen Real American as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Solomon Ares is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
