Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Masked Assassin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fullsize Mirror (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Assassin's entrance music is Phucking Phreak. A fine choice. Mirror has chosen Ordinary Guy--- Blue Scholars as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Masked Assassin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Masked Assassin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Punchers Chance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Connor Wellington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wellington comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Radiohead - Reckoner kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damian Grabowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Schlock Leznar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leznar has chosen The Champ by Ghostface Killah as his entrance music. Damian Grabowski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.3lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
