Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cookie Monster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hale Tommasson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tommasson has chosen Amazing as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Hale Tommasson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Buhawi Baracael (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and MC Gusto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Justin Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Volkoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lynch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me. 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.
