Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Andres Machete (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darth Paduwan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machete comes into the arena with Sandstorm - Darude blaring out of the sound system. Paduwan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bitch. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Filo Bedo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aaron Davidson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davidson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Regina Spektor - Après Moi kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Aaron Davidson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
