Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pierre St Georges (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Battaile Fauber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Georges's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Shurik'n - Samourai. Fauber is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I Like Big Butts. Pierre St Georges could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Battaile Fauber's chin.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Ricardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Will Harvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
