Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Drew Sneeze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Davenport (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sneeze might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Born on the Bayou. Davenport has chosen Ready for the Fight as his entrance music. Thomas Davenport is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yuoki Akamara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Le Blanc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Akamara kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Illuminati. Le Blanc has chosen I Know It's Over - By The Smiths as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kyle Le Blanc will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
