Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tim Ernst (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwight Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ernst kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjVvhDwFnJk. Grant has chosen Beanie (Mack B****) as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roland Deschain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aldo Raine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Deschain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Giving In-- As made famous by Adema. Raine has chosen Slaughter - Billy Preston as his entrance music. 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 Henry Chinaski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alaric Visigoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
