Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Voax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and San Lucas Mussolini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Voax's entrance music is The Ripper. A fine choice. Mussolini has chosen You gonna git bombed 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 San Lucas Mussolini was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between ced ben (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Finisher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 The Finisher was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
