Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adam Schmierer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Millar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Schmierer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Down in Dunedin by Pissd Chris/Tokie Konez/Kamasuda/Devil Keyz. 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 Mike Millar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Helios Garcius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Noogie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Noogie has chosen Call of the Wild by Circus of Power as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
