Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mario Carvalho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joshua Casey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carvalho comes to the cage accompanied by limp bizkit - Rollin'. 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 Joshua Casey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Van Den Broeck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Murray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Van Den Broeck might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Insane Clown Posse - Miracles. Murray is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by KO muzik. 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.
