Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ethan Sheehy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Goretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sheehy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Job - Maybe later. Goretti has chosen I'm Too Sexy 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ignat Grenovsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henrik Danielsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grenovsky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Harry Axe-Our people. 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?
