Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oskar Kokoshka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Skelton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chev Chelios (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richie Yang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chelios comes into the arena with In Waves blaring out of the sound system. 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 Richie Yang was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
