Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Haze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Haze's choice of entrance music: King Of Amarillo by Issues. Johnny Boy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Johnny Boy is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Viljo Suokas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dat Sik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suokas's entrance music is Limp Bizkit - Break stuff. A fine choice. 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 Dat Sik was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
