Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tonothan Kuhula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Patton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Keep your hands to yourself- Georgia Satellites. Kuhula has chosen Native Drums from the South Pacific as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Darnell Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ligerito Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nando De Leeuw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Snuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Snuka has chosen Superfly by Curtis Mayfield as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
