Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jakub Witczak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wot Czyzewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Witczak kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rocky V - Keep it up. Czyzewski has chosen Korn feat. Skrillex - "Get Up" 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alen Delon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Delon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prayer Of The Refugee. Diaz comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Edo. G - Like That kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Alen Delon is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
