Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Phil Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kei Noguchi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brooks kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cult Of Personality. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Uli Kunkel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thai Boxer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kunkel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bubbles - Bidibodi Bidibu. 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.
