Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rich Silva Jr (ranked 439 p4p, 515 weight class) and Christophe Dupree (ranked 66 p4p, 72 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sleeping Giant. Christophe Dupree has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jean-Claude Marceau (ranked 154 p4p, 266 weight class) and Rob Kardashian (ranked 29 p4p, 44 weight class). Marceau kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Feist - Tout Doucement. Kardashian has chosen Wu Tang Clan - Gravel Pit 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cletus McDonald (ranked 59 p4p, 195 weight class) and Donald Trump (ranked 10 p4p, 28 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McDonald might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Merle Haggard - Okie From Muskogee. On his way into the cage it seems that Cletus McDonald has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cletus McDonald seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
