Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Curtly Ambrose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Pegas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Jon Pegas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Boma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josiah Bartlet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boma kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Andrew and Wada Blood - Irie. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bartlet's choice of entrance music: Gary Numan- Praying to the Alien. Josiah Bartlet has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Oscar Boma's chin.
