Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Felix Cena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and DeAngelo Kenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cena comes to the cage accompanied by The Champ is Here. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kenner's choice of entrance music: ''Death Wish'' by Jadakiss feat. Lil Wayne. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Myles O Donnell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Luciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Donnell comes to the cage accompanied by Anti by Mayhem. Luciano has chosen The Mechanic as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Charlie Luciano was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
