Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Gronholm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juhani Kontiovaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Armand Agasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Tsakada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Agasi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disicable -:Eminem . 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 Lee Tsakada was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
