Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Welsh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: For Whom The Bell Tolls. 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 Lyoto Machida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ban-Ki Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Nobriga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim comes to the ring accompanied by Guns N' Roses: Welcome To The Jungle. Nobriga is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Queen's We Will Rock You. On his way into the ring it seems that Ban-Ki Kim has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Ban-Ki Kim seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alfie Norks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Logan Harter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norks's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Like a G6. The crowd seem to be enjoying Harter's choice of entrance music: Stevie Ray Vaughan "Rude Mood". 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.
