Guillermo Penderas told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Freddie Venus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh JC (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Smashmouth - Why Cant We Be Friends kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Freddie Venus had real problems making weight for this fight.

Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
