Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Morgernstern (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Pearson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morgernstern's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Te a la menthe. Pearson has chosen Five Finger Death Punch White Knuckles as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Giordano Bruno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joost Van De Wolf Keizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruno kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Preliator. Van De Wolf Keizer has chosen MASTODON - BLOOD AND THUNDER as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
