Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lester Cockenschtuff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes to the cage accompanied by LL CoolJ - Headsprung. Cockenschtuff has chosen Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fatts McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vyacheslav Romanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGee comes to the cage accompanied by I'm a Thug. 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 Vyacheslav Romanov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
