Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hannah Montana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Montana's entrance music is Hoedown Throwdown. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Samara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Kline (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kline has chosen Enter Sandman 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 Andy Kline was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
