Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Grout (ranked 1393 p4p, 139 weight class) and Sendou Kitano (ranked 992 p4p, 108 weight class). Grout comes into the arena with Fletch's gift for Grouty blaring out of the sound system. Kitano has chosen Taeko Ohnuki - 4:00 AM as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bomb Com (ranked 59 p4p, 13 weight class) and Ebeneezer Darkk (ranked 20 p4p, 4 weight class). Com's entrance music is Bombs Away. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
