Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pascual Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Randall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perez comes to the cage accompanied by Another One Bites The Dust. 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 Jason Randall was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Chambers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bastien Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harris has chosen Du Hast as his entrance music. Jack Chambers had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Boitsov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arvo Laar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laar has chosen some random 90's estonia dance song i found on youtube as his entrance music. 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?
