Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba McFly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ara Vahaber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McFly's entrance music is Metallica - All Nightmare Long. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vahaber's choice of entrance music: Dr.Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still Dre. 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 Ara Vahaber was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Alarcon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scotty Nguyen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Holla Back (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abel Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khan has chosen Fuckin' In The Bushes as his entrance music.
