Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between JD Wildstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tatsuya Kawajiri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Luckily JD Wildstein seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Douglas Quaid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Carlton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quaid comes to the cage accompanied by Total Recall. Carlton has chosen 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
