Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harley King (ranked 1323 p4p, 1095 weight class) and Mike McGuire (ranked 167 p4p, 140 weight class). McGuire is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Jekyll And Hyde. 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 Mike McGuire was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joosep Lõhmus (ranked 16 p4p, 288 weight class) and Azor Ahai (ranked 4 p4p, 37 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lõhmus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings. Joosep Lõhmus has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
