Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Byron Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nelson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West feat Chief Keef, Pusha T, Jadakiss, Big Sean - I Don't Like. Miller has chosen Don't Worry, Be Happy! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Byron Nelson had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between FOSTER Zwingman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kurokawa Kenji (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stack Shillings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Salcedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shillings comes into the arena with UGK - Diamonds and Wood (Chopped and Screwed) blaring out of the sound system. Salcedo has chosen Muse - Muscle Museum as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Julio Salcedo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
