Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rollo Gracie (ranked 1749 p4p, 211 weight class) and Bin Laden (ranked 4770 p4p, 429 weight class).

I am Bin Laden - 5jonttu55 kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Bin Laden was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roy Gaston (ranked 514 p4p, 72 weight class) and Carl Moore (ranked 485 p4p, 67 weight class). Gaston comes to the cage accompanied by You Can Do It. Moore is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sad Man's Tongue by Volbeat. 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 Carl Moore was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
