Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Caleb Carr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Dude (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leo Sonnen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Levan Revazshvili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sonnen comes to the cage accompanied by Scream Aim Fire. Revazshvili is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Roy Jones - Can't be touched. 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 Levan Revazshvili was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

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 Anna Velvet was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
