Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick Nasty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nasty kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Veteran. Machida has chosen Lyoto Machida as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Victor Sagat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinny Veechi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sagat might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to His own theme music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Death Row (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tokamek Yeets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Row comes to the cage accompanied by Who Da Champion. Yeets has chosen Nuclear Fusion as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
