Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luis Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shezzo Wicked (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torres kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lie, Cheat, & Steal. Wicked has chosen Takin U' High by Greyhoundz as his entrance music. Luis Torres is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jacques La Haine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adrian Shota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Odell Paquette (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Monteban (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Ricardo Monteban was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
