Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Zanico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James House (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Moses (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maximus Overdrive (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moses comes into the arena with Black Label Society - too tough to die blaring out of the sound system. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Flex Dynomite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tursunovich Tokhtakhounov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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