Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Numero Uno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrei East (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uno kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is lol. East has chosen AC/DC - Highway To Hell as his entrance music. Numero Uno could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Andrei East's chin.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Styles Fights (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Collins comes to the cage accompanied by Beginning of the End. 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 Styles Fights was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
