Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Caro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ludovic Presle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ludovic Presle struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Taz Brandon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Frazier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brandon's entrance music is Ace Of Spades. A fine choice. 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 Simon Frazier was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ichabod Crane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baby Huey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Broken Bones - Decapitated. Huey has chosen Baby Huey - A change is going to come as his entrance music. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
