Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Onatopp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and AJ Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Onatopp's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, O Fortuna. Matthews is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Falling Away From Me by Korn. 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 AJ Matthews was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brad Cunningham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Sutter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cunningham might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed - Conflict . 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 Richtor Schkayle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javier Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schkayle kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Far East Movement - Like a G6. Martinez has chosen ACDC - Are You Ready? 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.
