Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John L Sullivan IV (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kha Ri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sullivan IV might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Seven Deadly Sins. Ri has chosen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jp Greywar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Soriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Greywar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I'm a Catholic girl.... Soriano is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bebot by The Black Eyed Peas. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
