Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kylar Sensei (ranked 969 p4p, 46 weight class) and Josh Turner (ranked 1028 p4p, 52 weight class).

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dean Wesson (ranked 453 p4p, 51 weight class) and Ryu Aokison (ranked 1657 p4p, 205 weight class). Wesson's entrance music is In Your Honor - Foo Fighters. A fine choice. Aokison is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Caroline. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
