Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Red Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramstein Rommel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Belt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dance of the Knights.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Hanlon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Misiek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Misiek comes into a darkened arena with his song building. El Picante kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
