Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Silvester Szymanski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Ruiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). 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 Carlos Ruiz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Happy Flowers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Lindquist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flowers's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wu Tang Clan - Tiger Style. Lindquist has chosen Wacco Will Kick Your Ass as his entrance music. Flowers has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
