Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mauro Okongwu (ranked 55 p4p, 530 weight class) and Chozen Gracie (ranked 8 p4p, 66 weight class). Okongwu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Show Stop - REASON. 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 Chozen Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sonny Giovanni (ranked 21 p4p, 94 weight class) and Barack Obaminator (ranked 4 p4p, 15 weight class). Obaminator comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gil Scott-Herron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
