Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bilabong Conrad (ranked 3232 p4p, 390 weight class) and Seb Sha (ranked 1007 p4p, 139 weight class). Conrad kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BonieM. 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 Seb Sha was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carl Sands (ranked 2097 p4p, 249 weight class) and Knutr Sveinsson (ranked 1124 p4p, 128 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sands might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hip Hop - By: Dead Prez. Knutr Sveinsson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
