Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hercules Rockefeller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Grace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rockefeller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Somebody That I Used to Know. Grace has chosen Doggystyle - Snoop Dogg as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Larry Carnitine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saigon The Yard Father (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Carnitine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Doro Pesch and Udo Dirkschneider covering Breaking the Law. The Yard Father comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Saigon - Get Busy kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
