Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boo Lee (ranked 1058 p4p, 155 weight class) and Justin Biggs (ranked 2825 p4p, 383 weight class). Lee comes to the cage accompanied by Mama Said Knock You Out. 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 Justin Biggs was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ebyn Dall (ranked 523 p4p, 65 weight class) and Royal Pain (ranked 915 p4p, 118 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Under the Blood. Pain has chosen AC/DC Thunderstruck 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.
