Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kuma Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noel Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muay Thai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirk Laputa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thai kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Town Called Malice. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
