Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor The Last Hemporor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Royler Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Last Hemporor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bongtokin Alcoholics by the KottonmouthKings. Gracie has chosen Underdogs day by ENTOMBED as his entrance music. Royler Gracie told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Flight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sunil Ganga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Luckily Thomas Flight seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
