Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pee Wee Sasaki (ranked 507 p4p, 1641 weight class) and Murzol Gro Ulfimph (ranked 33 p4p, 101 weight class). Gro Ulfimph is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Have a banana. 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 Murzol Gro Ulfimph was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Cubbedge (ranked 76 p4p, 387 weight class) and Marlon Gazersky (ranked 12 p4p, 52 weight class).
