Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt Porter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Wilkinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Porter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Red Hot Chili Peppers - Roller Coaster of Love. Wilkinson has chosen Our Lady Peace - Whatever 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 Sam Wilkinson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jayceon Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konstantin Kalyagin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Konstantin Kalyagin is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
