Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between David Norris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Mitchell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norris comes to the cage accompanied by Natural Born Killaz-Dr. Dre . 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 Lucas Mitchell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mat McWhorter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Will Rounded (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McWhorter comes into the arena with Young Buck - Pullin Me Back blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rounded's choice of entrance music: Slayer - Raining Blood. Mat McWhorter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Mat McWhorter could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Will Rounded's chin.
