Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimbo Slice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyson comes to the cage accompanied by I'll Whip Your Head Boy. Slice is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fuck The Other Side by Dunk Rydas. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Jay Mitchell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrone Biggums (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biggums has chosen N.W.A. - Dopeman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jay Mitchell looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
