Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alistair Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emelianenko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Republic Tigers. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Helge Fossmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bas Miletich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fossmo's entrance music is Helge Fossmo predikar. A fine choice. Miletich has chosen Face fucked by PISSING RAZORS as his entrance music. Fossmo has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Bas Miletich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
