Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Mikael Saputo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bo Dallas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saputo's entrance music is The Milk Song. A fine choice. Dallas has chosen Better Bo-lieve It as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Chin Checker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Richer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Checker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Time to Fight. Bobby Richer has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
