Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikita Tretiak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Planety (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tretiak might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Soviet/ USSR Anthem. Planety has chosen All the right moves as his entrance music. Joe Planety will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Randy Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacques Francel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Voices.
