Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Renato Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bring Da Ruckus. McCall has chosen Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies as his entrance music. Renato Gracie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trent Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lester Cockenschtuff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pope might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It . Cockenschtuff has chosen Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus 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.
