Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuri CoxX (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryan Grant had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Professor Chaos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Valentine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chaos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Chaos. Valentine comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Buy the Drugs kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
