Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hector Tractor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Never Faulter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tractor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Everyday I'm Hustlin. Never Faulter has chosen Fire it up by Modest Mouse as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Subz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jing Ya Xu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Subz's entrance music is Speak - Stop The War. A fine choice. Jing Ya Xu struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jonny Subz has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
