Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kickin Kenny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amir Verdune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kenny might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mario's Love Song. Verdune is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Remember the name. Amir Verdune has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Joad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Sigurdsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Sigurdsson's choice of entrance music: 2ne1 - Can't Nobody. 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.
