Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walker is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gonna Fly Now (metal version by Sylvain Cloux). 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 Rocky Walker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rusty Bullworth Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bullworth Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Copperhead Road by Steve Earle. Miller is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Proud Music.
