Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rock Mesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jiu Jitsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jitsu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Nikkfurie- The a la Menthe. 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 Jiu Jitsu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chico Corrales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aiden ORielly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Corrales might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brainstorm - Waterfall. 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.
