Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn The Viking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Viking comes to the cage accompanied by Wardruna - Fehu. Harris has chosen Kevin Rudolf - In the City as his entrance music. 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 Frank Harris was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samir Lemaitre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lennart Lennartsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lemaitre kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is La Marseillaise. Lennartsson has chosen Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Samir Lemaitre could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Lennart Lennartsson's chin.
