Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joao Pequeno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luther Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pequeno kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Căo da Morte by Măo Morta. Pope has chosen No Sunshine as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joao Pequeno could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Luther Pope's chin.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Harry Bach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gaia Ky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bach might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In the House In a Heartbeat. 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 Gaia Ky was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
