Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Corey Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tay Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taylor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dark Tranquillity - Therein. Smith has chosen Let It Rock as his entrance music. 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 Tay Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aamakualenalena Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Gutierez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robinson comes to the cage accompanied by The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony. Aamakualenalena Robinson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.9lbs, 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. Aamakualenalena Robinson has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
