Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Random Collective (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Collective kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Barricade. Alves has chosen Rob Zombie - Scum of the earth as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Andrade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Waldorf Astoria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrade kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Orgasmatron. Astoria has chosen Waltz from Les Sylphides 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.
