Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Wohehiv Herman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Herman comes to the cage accompanied by Many Men . Roberts has chosen Break Stuff 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 Max Roberts was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ali Reem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kasen Perkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reem's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, BAMF! - Bring back the pit. The crowd seem to be enjoying Perkins's choice of entrance music: 'breathe' by The Prodigy. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
