Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy Whitewash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Schiknsi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Whitewash comes into the arena with New Divide blaring out of the sound system. Schiknsi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Po Russki. Igor Schiknsi told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Toten Kopf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Beckring (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kopf kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Motörhead - Iron Fist. Beckring has chosen Where Is My Mind as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The key to victory for Toten Kopf has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
