Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Noah Puckerman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leandro Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alves is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Thin Lizzy - Angel of Death. 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 Leandro Alves was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Brock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Con Waterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Guns and Roses - Reckless Life. Waterson has chosen Oasis - Roll With It as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
