Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Herb Krison (ranked 119 p4p, 19 weight class) and Humbert Humbert (ranked 179 p4p, 27 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Krison might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rebelution. 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?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Captain Gonza (ranked 277 p4p, 41 weight class) and Chris Steve (ranked 56 p4p, 9 weight class). Gonza kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Many Men. 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 Chris Steve was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
