Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eskil Lemmelin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Mayer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lemmelin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fönt ja en körv. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mayer's choice of entrance music: I´m shipping out to Boston - Dropkick Murphys. John Mayer has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Heavy Damage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Calculus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Damage might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to South Afrika. Heavy Damage has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
