Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dimas Boykiy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Godley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boykiy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Перемен. 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?

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Felipe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Cave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Felipe's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ain't That A Kick In The Head. The crowd seem to be enjoying Cave's choice of entrance music: Me And The Devil. Nick Cave will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Van De Kamp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Newton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van De Kamp's entrance music is Sister Sin - Fight Song. A fine choice. 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 Newton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
