Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aqua Lung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donny Brook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lung might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Aqualung". Donny Brook will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Overbury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Philips (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Overbury might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rule Britannia. Philips comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dance Hall Days kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
