Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Paquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oliver Kahn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kahn is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Boris Brejcha - Flockentanz . 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 Big Hardon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kelvin Garnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ameno. The crowd seem to be enjoying Garnett's choice of entrance music: Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls. Big Hardon has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
