Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Henson Benderson (ranked 206 p4p, 26 weight class) and Daniel Larusso (ranked 317 p4p, 36 weight class). Benderson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Time is Now. Larusso comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Glory of love kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Daniel Larusso!
Daniel Larusso very nearly forgot to thank Zenith Nutrition (160q/$200) amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Koh Ibu (ranked 12 p4p, 2 weight class) and Arshnoor Singh (ranked 140 p4p, 22 weight class). Singh is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 2Pac - Hit 'Em Up. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
