Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Snuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey O Neil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Snuka kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Superfly -- Curtis Mayfield and Ice T . O Neil has chosen Golden Brown 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeggu Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonid Guerra Salsido (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomb comes to the cage accompanied by Limp Bizkit - Nookie. Guerra Salsido has chosen Cuba Anthem as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Leonid Guerra Salsido was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
