Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Kuklinsky (ranked 469 p4p, 59 weight class) and Johnny Drama (ranked 586 p4p, 76 weight class). Drama comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Vicious White Kids No Lip kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Drama has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Richard Kuklinsky has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kasey Scorpion (ranked 99 p4p, 14 weight class) and Jesus Chico Grande (ranked 37 p4p, 5 weight class). Scorpion kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jiu Jitsu. Grande is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dead By Dawn by Deicide . 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.
