Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Murdoch McNash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Scott might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ironfist. McNash has chosen IllEvilHater - Maniac Maggot as his entrance music. 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 Murdoch McNash was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joeseph Moai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Belal Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Li is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fearless. 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 Belal Li was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
