Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rubert Kuminauha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matto Monni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuminauha's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Celine Dion - Just Walk Away. Monni has chosen Focus - Hocus Pocus as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Viiksi Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martti Molo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolonen comes to the cage accompanied by Kid Rock - American Bad Ass. The crowd seem to be enjoying Molo's choice of entrance music: Nitro Circus. 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 Martti Molo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
