Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ray Punch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rj McLovin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Punch comes to the cage accompanied by Get Knocked Out. McLovin has chosen Nas - Etherl as his entrance music. 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 Rj McLovin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergio Manuel Mayfair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and London Saint James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saint James has chosen Rocky Road To Dublin as his entrance music. 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 London Saint James was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
