Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Pulson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edwin Meadows (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Michael Kenyon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sal Pacino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kenyon comes to the cage accompanied by The Illinois Enema Bandit. 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 Sal Pacino was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
