Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bob Bunkers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sune Vriden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mack Montana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Montana might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nowhere Fast - Diane Lane. Martin has chosen Song of Ice and Fire Art Collection as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
