Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Yusuke Urameshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darrell Miles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Urameshi's entrance music is Two Piece by Tech N9ne. A fine choice. Miles is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tupac - Only God Can Judge Me. Yusuke Urameshi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marco Marcolini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iivana Jalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marcolini's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Raffaella Carra - Rumore. Jalo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Aino Venna - Waltz to Paris kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Abaka Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Torrance (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torrance comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Black Strobe - I'm a man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Jack Torrance was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
