Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billa Bong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Keefer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bite Marks - Screeching Weasel. Mark Keefer has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ben Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kennedy Embers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, SWEET JANE. Embers is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Settle For Nothing by RATM. Kennedy Embers is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jebidiah Tayber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willians Trautman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tayber might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Terravita - Adult Robot Kung Fu. Trautman has chosen Bolt Thrower - No guts, no glory as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
