Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Helio Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albatross Kingfisher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Albatross Kingfisher was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roofus Bumfight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brock Rockgroin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bumfight might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amazing by Kanye West. Rockgroin has chosen "Enter Sandman," by Metallica as his entrance music. Roofus Bumfight could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Brock Rockgroin's chin.
