Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frederick Zwirn (ranked 919 p4p, 824 weight class) and Greg Fitzgerald (ranked 124 p4p, 108 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Fitzgerald's choice of entrance music: It's Bedtime by Ninja Sex Party. 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 Greg Fitzgerald was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Sogrin (ranked 873 p4p, 739 weight class) and Bolo Yueng (ranked 130 p4p, 113 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sogrin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rammstein - Sonne. Yueng has chosen Stranglehold by Ted Nugent as his entrance music. The key to victory for Konstantin Sogrin has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
