Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kalesh Nikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Phife (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Go hard or go home. Phife has chosen Hello Zepp - Charlie Clouser as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Taz Devil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Key (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Devil comes to the cage accompanied by Motorhead-Enter Sandman. Key has chosen Till I Collapse - Eminem as his entrance music. 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 Tim Key was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
