Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alonzo Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griffin comes into the arena with New York blaring out of the sound system. James Brown struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Alonzo Griffin could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to James Brown's chin.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chris Kringle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gilson Domingos Rezende Agostinho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kringle comes to the cage accompanied by Wating on the world to change, by John Mayer. 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 Gilson Domingos Rezende Agostinho was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
