Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rowan Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mehmet Sirovica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Savage's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Twist of Cain" by Danzig. Sirovica has chosen last mohacian as his entrance music. 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 Jose Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamey Jasta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinez comes to the cage accompanied by Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jasta's choice of entrance music: Smash Your Enemies. 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.
