Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chad Reilly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Mad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reilly comes to the cage accompanied by Till I Collapse-Eminem feat. Nate Dogg. Mad is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Move aside and let the man go through. Chad Reilly had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. Max Mad 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 Dirty Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rock Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sanchez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome to the Jungle. 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 Rock Johnson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
