Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rex Tremendous Jr (ranked 4070 p4p, 4926 weight class) and Kai Leilua (ranked 494 p4p, 523 weight class). 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 Kai Leilua was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between See How Fook (ranked 2172 p4p, 3481 weight class) and Sean Rivers (ranked 283 p4p, 434 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fook might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ladies & Gentlemen. Rivers has chosen Gojira - Sphinx as his entrance music. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between George Hale (ranked 750 p4p, 1944 weight class) and Daniel Belyaev (ranked 67 p4p, 166 weight class).
