Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derec Negreanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phillip Finnegan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Brody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rock Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brody might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tom Petty - Won't Back Down. Lee is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Started From The Bottom. This should be fireworks!
