Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rex Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Another Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guy has chosen Do You Really Want to Hurt Me 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pooby Phants (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cato McGraw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Phants might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Voodoo Chile. Pooby Phants has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
