Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sthawy Sthowp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cage Slaughter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sthowp comes to the cage accompanied by Blind Guardian - Into the Storn. Slaughter has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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 Cage Slaughter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ed Mytsyno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Sturd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!
