Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Pigeon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Denny Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pigeon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hank Williams Jr. - Country Boy Can Survive. Miller has chosen Dirty Deeds 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!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blu Pisa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Xystorophoroi Ii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pisa's entrance music is Party Rock Anthem. A fine choice. Xavier Xystorophoroi Ii struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
