Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ahmad Abdallah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Slick Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abdallah comes to the cage accompanied by California Love. 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 Slick Kennedy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tulio Nascimento (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Fulton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shane WiIliams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Doomsday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). WiIliams comes to the cage accompanied by Eye Of The Tiger. Shane WiIliams had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.7lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
