Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Tszyu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oishi Yoshio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tszyu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is System of a Down - Toxicity. Yoshio is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "Stronger" by Kanye West . 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Silver Boo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alec Dimanche (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boo's entrance music is BLUNT- The Iron Maiden. A fine choice. Dimanche has chosen 835 - SLAPDASH as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Silver Boo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Silver Boo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Addams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Babyfarts Mcgeezak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Addams's entrance music is Addams Family Theme Song. A fine choice. Mcgeezak has chosen Welcome to the Terrordome as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Babyfarts Mcgeezak will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
