Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dropkick Flexy (ranked 3157 p4p, 362 weight class) and Spurgu Nator (ranked 2515 p4p, 312 weight class). Flexy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Thing. Spurgu Nator told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wally Kruschev (ranked 2281 p4p, 288 weight class) and Aly Magomedov (ranked 1965 p4p, 243 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kruschev might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pissed Off and Mad About it (Texas Hippie Coalition). The crowd seem to be enjoying Magomedov's choice of entrance music: Aly Intro RUN!. 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.
