Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between AJ Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nelson comes into the arena with Iron Man, Black Sabbath blaring out of the sound system. Mendez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Are You Ready?. AJ Nelson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.1lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Miggery Sow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Suffer Thyme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sow's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - Its A Long Way To The Top If Ya Wanna Rock And Roll. 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 Suffer Thyme was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
