Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Helio Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrone Compton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Compton has chosen Let's Go as his entrance music. 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 Tyrone Compton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Shifflett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hunter Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shifflett kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac - Straight Rider. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Right or Wrong. Andy Martinez looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Doc Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alpha Male (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thomas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder. Male has chosen Rooster as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
