Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nick Fury (ranked 538 p4p, 23 weight class) and Elric Wolfsbruder (ranked 710 p4p, 32 weight class). Wolfsbruder has chosen Cradel to the grave as his entrance music. 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 Elric Wolfsbruder was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sunray Spike (ranked 19 p4p, 3 weight class) and Jason Steele (ranked 93 p4p, 5 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spike might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to For Heavy Metal we will die!. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
