Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gorge Jurgel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jurgel comes to the cage accompanied by Rock N Roll Train. Hammer has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sisu Aalto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamey Jasta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aalto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to .. Jasta has chosen Smash Your Enemies as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jamey Jasta is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wolfgang Kratorius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Huge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kratorius kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Bang. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
