Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Philippe Capet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Pasano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Capet might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to La Marseillaise. Jon Pasano is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Freida Felcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ngaio Bealum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
