Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Martin Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rama Chulalongkorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gomes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Juelz Santana - Murda Murda. Chulalongkorn has chosen "Sagat's Theme," by Takayuki Aihara as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gianfranco Zola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glenardo Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zola might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Balls to the Wall. Gonzalez has chosen "Monster" By: Skillet as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
