Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wilhelm Reich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Pot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reich kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wilhelm Reich in Hell. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergeant Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boris Travos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Peppers's entrance music is Brainiac -- Chevelle. A fine choice. Travos has chosen Korn - Blind as his entrance music. 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.
