Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Juan Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saint Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Let's hope this is a good fight!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Blair Turton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Les Roughneck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Turton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Working full time - The constantines. Roughneck is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Roughest Neck Around - Corb Lund. Les Roughneck is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
