Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chruck Riddel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bo Lundgren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Milan Hosak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nelson has chosen Black Flood Diesel - Lost Cause as his entrance music. 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 Brad Nelson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
