Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Dignam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Humphry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dignam might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds. Humphry has chosen Iggy And The Stooges - as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Doc Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maxence Laurentian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas comes to the cage accompanied by Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder. 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 Maxence Laurentian was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
