Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hercule Poirot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Andy Stone will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jiri Ahokas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Slaughter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ahokas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC. The crowd seem to be enjoying Slaughter's choice of entrance music: The Crown - World Below. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
