Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Igor Yakovchenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jet Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Yakovchenko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Too Much Information. Li has chosen Tourniquet by Evanescence as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jet Li has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sellus Gravius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Titus Pullo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gravius's entrance music is Morrowind. A fine choice. Pullo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wild Boys. 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.
