Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sativa Sensei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ed Gein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sensei's entrance music is Stevie Ray - Pride and Joy.

Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zhu Fangyu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Blaine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fangyu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Demigod-Mindmasher. Blaine is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. Zhu Fangyu could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to David Blaine's chin.
