Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Travis Pinder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Obrien (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pinder's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drowning Pool's Let The Bodies Hit The Floor. 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Max Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruce Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Power might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fabolous, 50cent, Mase - Breathe Remix. Lee has chosen Enter the Dragon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
