Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Quaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Minasian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quaid kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Total Recall.

Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Slim Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zeus Obliteratii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
