Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thie Lion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krendal Svorak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svorak has chosen David Bowie - Heroes as his entrance music. Thie Lion had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Rockgroin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ignatious Hashisha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rockgroin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Enter Sandman," by Metallica. 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 Ignatious Hashisha was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
