Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sakari Nurmi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryuu Tatsuya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nurmi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Turisas -Take the day!. Tatsuya comes into a darkened arena with his song building. DBZ 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonnie Fierro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackie Treehorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fierro comes to the cage accompanied by Punkrocker. 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 Jackie Treehorn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
