Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manny Cod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Nickatina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Nickatina has chosen Andre Nickatina ~ Blood In My Hair as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Manny Cod has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chad Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Sobchek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown comes into the arena with Slayed blaring out of the sound system. 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 Walter Sobchek was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
