Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sigmund Freud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodney Mack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Corey Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Mongo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to St. Elmo's Fire. Mongo has chosen Blitzkrieg Bop as his entrance music. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Rumor Chance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kai Watanabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chance comes to the cage accompanied by This Joint. The crowd seem to be enjoying Watanabe's choice of entrance music: Bombage by Tiësto. 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 Kai Watanabe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
