Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antti Sokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Bauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sokka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Sun Aeon - Core of Winter. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolen Spliffs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lynch's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Small World -- Nas. Spliffs has chosen Ice Cube - Smoke Some Weed as his entrance music. 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.
