Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Auguste Grimm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antero Wursty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grimm might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to David Gilmour - There's No Way Out Of Here. Wursty has chosen Megadeth - The Skull Beneath The Skin as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Sturmpruegel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Omar Dzczaskz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sturmpruegel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BYOB - System of a Down. 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.
