Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Comte De Turenne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Baraona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Turenne comes into the arena with Dark Tranquility- Final Resistance blaring out of the sound system. 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 John Baraona was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Feilo Meloy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dutch Schaeffer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meloy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hypocrisy - Apocalypse. The crowd seem to be enjoying Schaeffer's choice of entrance music: Long Tall Sally. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
