Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Barbosa (ranked 1138 p4p, 3612 weight class) and Diego Almanza (ranked 142 p4p, 413 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barbosa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Go to Sleep. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pascal Gouveia (ranked 795 p4p, 1214 weight class) and Peoples Champion (ranked 93 p4p, 139 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Champion's choice of entrance music: Aegukka. 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 Peoples Champion was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
