Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rohith Sharma (ranked 558 p4p, 81 weight class) and Damagon Enchărya (ranked 1101 p4p, 145 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sharma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Do Your Thing. Enchărya has chosen Blaxcaliber as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fiyero Lermontov (ranked 233 p4p, 35 weight class) and Pit Canthropus Jr (ranked 903 p4p, 108 weight class). Canthropus Jr has chosen Austin Powers - Daddy Wasn't There as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fiyero Lermontov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
