Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Anton Kardanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Bennet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kardanov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Riders on the storm. Bennet has chosen SmashinSomethin as his entrance music. 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 Charles Bennet was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gunnbjorn Ulfsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aries Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henderson has chosen (hed) PE- Boom (How you like that) as his entrance music. 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 Aries Henderson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
