Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sean ODonnell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Sparrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). ODonnell comes to the cage accompanied by Going down to Boston by Dropkick Murphys. Jack Sparrow struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Fenny Klorian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carmelo Razor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Klorian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hong Kong - Mauro Picotto. The crowd seem to be enjoying Razor's choice of entrance music: AC/DC - Hells Bells. 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.
