Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Belin Billet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate MacRally (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Billet might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to in your face. MacRally is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richie McCaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarred Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McCaw might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kula Shaker - Hush. Jarred Rose has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
