Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Azh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kallias Straton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Azh comes into the arena with Manu Militari - Voix De Fait blaring out of the sound system. 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 Kallias Straton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Carson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Wilbon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
