Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carter Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to disturbed - down with the sickness. Johnson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman by Metallica. Chuck Gracie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manu Okoro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jigoro Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Okoro's entrance music is Jungle Ugly. A fine choice. Kane has chosen Under a Killing Moon by Thrice 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.
