Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Gluhov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jumi Karka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karka has chosen Warriors of the world as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jumi Karka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gray Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pekka Perkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hunter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dream Theater - Pull Me Under. The crowd seem to be enjoying Perkele's choice of entrance music: Danzig - I Don't Mind The Pain . Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
