Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yannick Sakala (ranked 2114 p4p, 3222 weight class) and Alexandria OcasioCortez (ranked 271 p4p, 387 weight class). Sakala's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pole Pole. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Jamil Hurst (ranked 1117 p4p, 1063 weight class) and Vinicius Kicklighter (ranked 175 p4p, 161 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hurst might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Keep Their Heads Ringin'. 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 Vinicius Kicklighter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
