Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eli Pope (ranked 155 p4p, 330 weight class) and Curtis Rome (ranked 20 p4p, 41 weight class). 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?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Bradley (ranked 156 p4p, 188 weight class) and Barack Obaminator (ranked 16 p4p, 20 weight class). Bradley comes to the cage accompanied by Sudbury Saturday Night. Obaminator is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gil Scott-Herron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
