Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jonah Roncesvalles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jericho Datu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Datu has chosen Ridin Dirty 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 Jericho Datu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miladin Kovacevic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fjalar Fuzzy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kovacevic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rocknrolla'. The crowd seem to be enjoying Fuzzy's choice of entrance music: the sound of screaming sluts. 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.
