Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob Swarner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Orange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Swarner kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Friends in Low Places . 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 Mr Orange was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andrey Konovalov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andr De Fran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Konovalov comes to the cage accompanied by CJClip - No reason to live but we do it. De Fran has chosen No Worries as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
