Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Helio Perrera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paulo Moreno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moreno has chosen Remembranzas as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marshall Mathers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pegg Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mathers might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Square Dance. 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.
