Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Godick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Lessouf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Truman Roosevelt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomek Maksymilian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roosevelt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gravel Pit by Wu Tang Clan. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mads Rosenkilde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waleed Malik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rosenkilde might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Danzig - 'Mother'. Malik has chosen Can't Be Touched as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
