Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Iko Morrowind (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Bremner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Morrowind might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Foggy Dew. Bremner comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Superbeast by Rob Zombie kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shuya Nanahara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Major Hardwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nanahara might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SAIL . Hardwood has chosen Ali Bomaye by The Game as his entrance music. 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.
