Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Fistyrian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eliza Marie II (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fistyrian comes to the cage accompanied by Metallica - Enter sandman. Marie II has chosen You´re the voice - John Farnham as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oliver Mctwist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nogueira might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Entrance. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
