Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Niupulusu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juliano Villar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Niupulusu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cyclops - Danny Brown. Villar has chosen The Prophet by Soulfly as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hector Hallow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Fed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hallow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to War Pigs. 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 Roman Fed was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
