Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Diego Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Spock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spock has chosen Rolling Stones- 2,000 Light Years From Home 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Flo Wer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimble Cho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to My Sweet Lord by George Harrison. 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.
