Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mega Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fredriksson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DMX - Megatron Gon' Give It To Ya. Bundy comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bad to The Bone kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Led Zeppelin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doc Chillum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zeppelin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to One 24. Chillum has chosen High Hopes - Pink Floyd as his entrance music. Led Zeppelin could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Doc Chillum's chin.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nyrkki Sankari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sankari kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Odorants - This Night. Thompson has chosen Danzig - Mother as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
