Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rex Garris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Jakson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Garris's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Blowin Money Fast by: Rick Ross. Jakson has chosen Thriller as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rickson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evans kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Emoyrean Mercenaries. Silva has chosen system of a down - violent pornography as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor A million ankle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beck Barsanti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think A million ankle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to punchout. 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.
