Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Shlemenko (ranked 3602 p4p, 404 weight class) and Angel Face (ranked 3543 p4p, 399 weight class). Shlemenko's entrance music is Omarion Ft. Chris Brown & Jhene Aiko - Post To Be. A fine choice. Face is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tyga - Real Deal. 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 Angel Face was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luciano Bizarria (ranked 635 p4p, 98 weight class) and Tung Fo (ranked 3382 p4p, 432 weight class). Chooooooooon!
