Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joe Rogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michaelangelo Van Der Poel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Van Der Poel's choice of entrance music: Potemkin City limits. 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between River Greywar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chihiro Ogino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greywar's entrance music is "Stick 'em Up!" - Quarashi. A fine choice. 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 Chihiro Ogino was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
