Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Masaru Hideki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maddy Rock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lowieke De Vos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marko Torturo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Vos comes to the cage accompanied by Hatsjikidee. Torturo has chosen Mogwai - Katrien 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Alfa Uros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hiro Protagonist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Uros might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirty Diana. Protagonist is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Teenage Bottlerocket - Bigger Than Kiss. Alfa Uros is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Otso Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doc Chillum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jokinen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is E.S. Posthumus - Unstoppable. Chillum has chosen High Hopes - Pink Floyd 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.
