Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Simo Silakka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tham Boon Yodsuwan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wolfe Larsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Osmond Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Larsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Get Out" by Circa Survive. Black is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: CMX, Nahkaparturi. 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 Osmond Black was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
