Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jiri Sayonara (ranked 205 p4p, 11 weight class) and Christian Edge (ranked 237 p4p, 14 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dustin Kruger (ranked 445 p4p, 47 weight class) and Ike Tronstone (ranked 731 p4p, 80 weight class). Kruger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter The Spingbok Ninja. 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 Ike Tronstone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
