Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Georgie Landis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dakota Wolfe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wolfe has chosen Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phantom Menace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darth Nurple (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Menace comes to the cage accompanied by Leroy Brown. Nurple has chosen Imperial March 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 Darth Nurple was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
