Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Ferguson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beefy Stake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ferguson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Breaking Benjamin singing "You Fight Me" live for the crowd tonight!!!!. 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 Beefy Stake was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Crewe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Davids (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crewe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Longest Yard. Davids has chosen The State Of Massachusetts - Dropkick Murphys as his entrance music. Marcus Davids has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
