Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rene Schweidler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Villa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schweidler's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, IZ. 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 Rafael Villa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ulric Hallestrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hallestrom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to With Oden On Our Side - Amon Amarth. 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.
