Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Angelo Mantelavo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beerkiller Razmax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mantelavo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Long Hard Road Out Of Hell by Marilyn Manson. Angelo Mantelavo could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Beerkiller Razmax's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lars Thunstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcini Corleone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thunstrom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to La Fouine feat Booba - Reste en chien. Corleone is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by WALKA. Marcini Corleone will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
