Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between BumbleBee Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Aronoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Hammet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aronoff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Here Comes the Pain by Slayer. Hammet has chosen Till I collapse as his entrance music. Mark Aronoff has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
