Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ara Vahaber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bubba McFly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vahaber might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dr.Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still Dre. McFly has chosen Metallica - All Nightmare Long as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Ohlrich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiranuka Stakanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ohlrich comes to the cage accompanied by Biz Markie's- Just a Friend. Stakanu has chosen Oy, To Ne Vecher 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.
