Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gennady Mikhasevich (ranked 1003 p4p, 1156 weight class) and Arthur Pendragon (ranked 138 p4p, 159 weight class). 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 Arthur Pendragon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marciano Cobb (ranked 802 p4p, 284 weight class) and Michael Garibaldi (ranked 127 p4p, 42 weight class). Cobb comes to the cage accompanied by Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.. Garibaldi has chosen Resist and Bite - Sabaton as his entrance music.
