Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bryer McGuire (ranked 694 p4p, 617 weight class) and Deon Big Daddy (ranked 92 p4p, 80 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuire might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd. Big Daddy has chosen Big Daddy Kane - Smooth Operator as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kilo Maluga (ranked 1 p4p, 45 weight class) and Clarence Hoost (ranked 1 p4p, 7 weight class). Maluga comes to the cage accompanied by JUNGLE. 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 Clarence Hoost was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
