Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Asian Guy (ranked 782 p4p, 2072 weight class) and Gaetano Villacci (ranked 106 p4p, 269 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Guy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting. Villacci has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
