Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bu Laia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Night Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laia kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hawaii '78 by Brudda Iz. Man has chosen Night Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between The Mammoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dj Crabby Jef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mammoth comes into the arena with Tech N9ne-Demons feat.Three Six Mafia blaring out of the sound system. Crabby Jef has chosen Madd Skillz as his entrance music. 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.
