Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Bellec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Genovese (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Genovese has chosen Kick-Ass: Music Soundtrack as his entrance music. 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 Chris Genovese was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mark Spencer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cubensis Azul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Spencer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ride Of The Valkyries - Richard Wagner. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between The Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeeves Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Old Spice Guy Intro. Smith has chosen God Save the Queen by The Sex Pistols 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?
