Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Cronkite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iivana Jalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cronkite might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Croc song!. Jalo has chosen Aino Venna - Waltz to Paris as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Red (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Mattews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Red might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Where Is My Mind by The Pixies. 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 Matt Mattews was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
