Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lyke Tuytuhlz (ranked 701 p4p, 891 weight class) and Bobby Drake (ranked 88 p4p, 112 weight class). Tuytuhlz's entrance music is Nas - N.Y. State of Mind. A fine choice. Drake has chosen Hell Yeah - Rev Theory as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Baldur Torsten (ranked 499 p4p, 873 weight class) and Jumanne Revocatus (ranked 84 p4p, 142 weight class). Torsten's entrance music is Temple of Odin. A fine choice. 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?
