Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Floyd Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Forrest Gryphen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pacquiao might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sometimes when we Fight. Floyd Pacquiao could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Forrest Gryphen's chin.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elijah Paris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paris is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Document One - Clap. 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 Elijah Paris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
