Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Diego Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirk Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diaz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's Good. Hall is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "Bring out your Dead" by Strung Out. 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 Kiba Hyuga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Lannister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hyuga's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Magic. 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 Jamie Lannister was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
