Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jigga Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James comes to the cage accompanied by Jumpman-Drake. 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 Jigga Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Raekwon The Chef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Kampmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Chef kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raekwon - Ice Cream. 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.
