Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Glossy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Power might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Easy Rider. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Edogawa Conan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magnus Mamba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Conan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Detective Conan Theme. Mamba has chosen 2pac-Uppercut as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Magnus Mamba has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Edogawa Conan's chin.
