Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Suchart Chaowanungkarn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chaowanungkarn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Muay Thai fight music. Pacquiao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Its Time for War. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Wain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Seanoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wain kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bring the Noise. Seanoa has chosen Mama Said Knock You Out 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.
