Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Great Teacher Onizuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pyry Perkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perkele has chosen Perkele 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 Pyry Perkele was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Russ Rutger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renan St Juste (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rutger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Old Rusty walks out, throwing mean looks at the crowd! This is BAAAAD!!!. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
