Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bong Ji Woo (ranked 1 p4p, 58 weight class) and Johnny Billabong (ranked 1 p4p, 9 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ji Woo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to FED UP. 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 Johnny Billabong was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Radu Dracul (ranked 8 p4p, 16 weight class) and Mohammed Kahn (ranked 1 p4p, 3 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kahn's choice of entrance music: كارتل مدان. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
