Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tanner Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ima Yerface (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Speed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Funky Kingston / Toots And The Maytals. Yerface has chosen In Flames - Like You Better Dead as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Chase Utley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shelton Harrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harrell has chosen Ellie Goulding - Burn 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 Shelton Harrell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Moore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samuel Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moore kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Frank Klepacki - March to doom. Washington comes into a darkened arena with his song building. TNT kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
