Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nicholas Spence (ranked 4137 p4p, 4026 weight class) and Chu Chu Fukyu (ranked 463 p4p, 455 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Morina (ranked 2861 p4p, 3544 weight class) and Jean Camara (ranked 336 p4p, 407 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 Jean Camara was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
