Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charles Cozad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damien Satan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Satan has chosen Bullet For My Valentine - Hit The Floor 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 Damien Satan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rainbow Brite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Ochoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brite might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rainbow Brite. Ochoa has chosen Ice Cube - I Rep That West as his entrance music. 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.
