Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryu Yamamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yamamoto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Daft Punk's Robot Rock. Young has chosen Blue Öyster Cult's Godzilla as his entrance music. Steve Young has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Martin Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holden Coulfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Svensson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The State Of Massachusetts - Dropkick Murphys. Coulfield has chosen Napalm Death - Twist the Knife (Slowly) as his entrance music. Holden Coulfield is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
