Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ilya Mstislav Volkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Pereira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Volkov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Россия. Pereira has chosen Game of Thrones as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Miguel Pereira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lao Shin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Shin has chosen Shaolin Chamber of Death as his entrance music. This should be fireworks!
