Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Garvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pelle Paniikki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Garvey comes to the cage accompanied by One Loaf of Bread -- Damian Marley. The crowd seem to be enjoying Paniikki's choice of entrance music: N'sync - Bye Bye Bye. 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 Pelle Paniikki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeggu Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Silvera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomb comes into the arena with Limp Bizkit - Nookie blaring out of the sound system. Silvera has chosen Wedlock 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.
