Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brian Fury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fury kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rammstein - Te Quiero Puta. Hogan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Real American. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kuai Lai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Draper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to CKY - Chinese Rap. 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.
