Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sigurd Fafnisbani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fafnisbani is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kegaduro. 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 Sigurd Fafnisbani was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mauri Pekkarinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Higgs Boson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pekkarinen's entrance music is Gay Bar. A fine choice. Boson has chosen "Large Hadron Rap" by alpinekat as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
