Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fausto Carmelon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksandar Ibrahimovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Annunaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Annunaki's entrance music is Tool - Aenima. A fine choice. 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 Mickey Rodriguez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
