Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between David James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Rabi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Rocky Rabi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Naglis Kaunietis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taavetti Merimies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Merimies comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Turbonegro - Sailor man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Naglis Kaunietis had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
