Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Viktor Tsoi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafa Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tsoi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Zvezda po Imeni Solnce. Silva comes into a darkened arena with his song building. UFC Theme Song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Hess (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky McColgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hess kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Demiurge. McColgan has chosen The Gael 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.
