Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Husein Magomaevaboff (ranked 482 p4p, 953 weight class) and Patrick River (ranked 74 p4p, 151 weight class). Magomaevaboff comes to the cage accompanied by Shaolin of Dagestan. River has chosen Pantera - Walk as his entrance music. 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 Patrick River was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Edward Conan (ranked 149 p4p, 206 weight class) and Osiris Egyptian (ranked 19 p4p, 26 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 Osiris Egyptian was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
