Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Meat Beater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mookie Magaba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magaba has chosen Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become 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 Mookie Magaba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Fantastic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alastair Gridlock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
