Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between McGillicuddy Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Help Out (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marshall Mathers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Zeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mathers might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Superman. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
