Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Miles North (ranked 1835 p4p, 241 weight class) and Peter Angelov (ranked 1348 p4p, 191 weight class). North kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Men at Work - Down Under. 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 Peter Angelov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frank Reilly (ranked 884 p4p, 124 weight class) and Noob Saibot (ranked 1585 p4p, 215 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reilly might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Danko Jones - Do You Wanna Rock. 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?
