Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Greg Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Gaines (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gaines has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Bob Gaines has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Toradaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Karkkola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toradaro comes into the arena with Big Sean - Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay (Feat. Roscoe Dash & Kanye West) blaring out of the sound system. Ricardo Toradaro had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.2lbs, 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!

And that's the end of the fight!
