Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaakko Parantainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Parantainen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - White America . Brown is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Needle In The Hay. Anthony Brown has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jaakko Parantainen's chin.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Optimus Prime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Venturia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Prime's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rich Boy - Boy Looka Here . The crowd seem to be enjoying Venturia's choice of entrance music: Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise. Optimus Prime looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
