Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dan Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva has chosen Notorious thugz - Bone Thugz as his entrance music. Dan Hardy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Amin Sax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sax's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Infected Mushroom - Smashing The Opponent. Silva is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Drop The World- Lil Wayne. Amin Sax is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
