Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Darth Sidious (ranked 1007 p4p, 159 weight class) and Thomas Peterson (ranked 1797 p4p, 265 weight class). Peterson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Fivefold - Not The Only One kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Thomas Peterson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Adams (ranked 632 p4p, 96 weight class) and Philo Beddo (ranked 820 p4p, 126 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Adams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thom Pace - Maybe. Beddo has chosen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeNtSPnvxWU&list=PL1CE5A4327AF04267&index=4 as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
