Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffson Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Antona might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Laid to Rest by Lamb of God. Gracie has chosen Cliff Richard - Summer Holiday as his entrance music. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Nezu Nambara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tee Bone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nambara kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This Is Goodbye - Blue Foundation. Bone has chosen Somebody's gonna get it as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
