Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Severi Turpaansaaja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jutta Urpilainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Whales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bundy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bad to The Bone. Whales has chosen AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
