Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mauricio Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angelito Barraquinha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirty Hous'. Barraquinha has chosen The Mamas & The Papas - Dream A Little Dream Of Me as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Gzrel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean McMorrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gzrel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Warriors Dance. 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 Sean McMorrow was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
