Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Kraylen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Green's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Transplants - Romper Stomper. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kraylen's choice of entrance music: Me Against the World - Tupac. Jimmy Kraylen struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jimmy Kraylen is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Doe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams's entrance music is When Worlds Collide. A fine choice. 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 John Doe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
