Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Velli Kulho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trent Punchy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kulho kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is My Bitches Working Out!. Punchy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Trent from Punchy. 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Aslak Aas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Stevens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nunnuka Nunnuka. 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.
