Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Melanko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ta Sau Sei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Melanko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "This Eminence Front Life I Lead " 2Pac vs The Who. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sau Sei's choice of entrance music: 周杰倫 - 青花瓷. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
