Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Levi Zimmerman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Blair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zimmerman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Let it Ride. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Dirty Dog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Jardine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dog's entrance music is Sharp Dressed Man. A fine choice. Jardine has chosen Calm Like A Bomb- Rage Against the Machine as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dirty Dog is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
