Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean Pierre Babin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boing Sparbot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Babin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to South Park - Let's Fighting Love. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sparbot's choice of entrance music: Boeing 777. Boing Sparbot has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hatsu Matsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geralt Of Ravia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matsu's entrance music is LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It. A fine choice. Of Ravia is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Witcher. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
