Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aloe Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Alexander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black comes into the arena with im the man blaring out of the sound system. 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 Paul Alexander was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Nickels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Stubb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nickels might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hail To The King. Stubb has chosen Paper Scratcher as his entrance music. Mike Nickels could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Michael Stubb's chin.
