Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rollo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mads Nordskov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jiu Jitsu: Apaga Mas Não Bate. Nordskov has chosen Fugle as his entrance music. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tero Susi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russell Tyrone Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyrone Jones has chosen Ol' Dirty Bastard - Shimmy Shimmy Ya 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.
