Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Zeca Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Inge Koll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson comes to the cage accompanied by Wait and Bleed. Koll has chosen Burn in hell as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Reijo Rymy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sparring PartnerBJJJ (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

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.
