Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick van Greeven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Guapo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think van Greeven might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tom Waits - Telephone call from Istanbul. Johnny Guapo will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Blatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Proudstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blatt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is you're going down- sick puppies. Proudstar has chosen "Run to the hills" by Iron Maiden as his entrance music. Jeff Blatt could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to James Proudstar's chin.
