Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Bower (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Flare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bower might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to When I'm With You. Flare comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Also Sprach Zarathustra kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Dave Bower is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Silver Boo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Drabek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, BLUNT- The Iron Maiden. Drabek has chosen Imagine 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.
