Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Moe Lester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmer Octopulus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lester comes to the cage accompanied by Twisted. 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 Jimmer Octopulus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Public Enemy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Devin Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Enemy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to (Silence). Styles has chosen Wrecking Ball as his entrance music. 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?
