Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Lomar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Doomsday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lomar's entrance music is The Misfits- Astro Zombies. A fine choice. Magnus Lomar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Juan Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominick Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escobar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Brujeria by La Coka Nostra. Jackson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Jay Z - Moment of Clarity. 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 Lance St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brett Isildor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Pierre's entrance music is 16 FEVER. A fine choice. Isildor has chosen The Hobbit Music 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.
